From Movement to Sound and Back: A Workshop on Movement-Based and Sonification Design Approaches

Movement and sound are inherently interwoven: movement generates sound, sound motivates movement. This workshop explores how sonification design approaches and movement-based design approaches can enhance, accelerate, and amplify each other. How can movement inform sonification design? And how can sonifications help movement-based design approaches?
In this hands-on workshop participants will be introduced to a movement-sonification toolkit and explore designing for sound through movement and designing for movement through sound.
We invite HCI researchers that work within the scope of designing interactive systems with emphasis on sound and or movement.
