[in.tangibile]

[in.tangibile] is an interactive sound art installation confronting visitors with two main concepts. In the first instance, it proposes a reflection on the materiality of sound, which, although often referred to as an 'object' in the sonic arts context, remains nevertheless formless and elusive. Yet, it is a physical phenomenon that impacts—albeit usually imperceptibly—the surrounding environment. Is its supposed intangibility, thus, intrinsic to the sound event, or is it related to our perceptual limitations? Secondly [in.tangibile] centralises the audience's role in the artistic creation process. According to Umberto Eco's open work concept, an artwork is not an accomplished and unchangeable fact but rather an artefact that only finds its completeness in combination with the interaction of the audience and the subsequent interpretative process it enacts. [in.tangibile], through experimental interfaces—recalling the tradition of graphic scores—and generative processes, aims to provide an experimental, tactile dimension to the sound phenomenon whilst elevating the audience at the role of co-creator, granting freedom of exploration and creative agency to explore the affordances of the artistic system and its grounding concept.
