生物電聲 Body Electric 階段呈現
計畫簡介 Project Description
「生物電聲：結合生理感測的音樂表達介面」是聲化感官實驗室嘗試結合近期關注的聽覺多樣性（aural diversity）、聲音化（sonification）與資料轉譯的實驗項目，探索生理感測技術在音樂表達中的應用，開發將生物訊號（如肌電、呼吸與脈搏）轉化為音樂語言的原型介面。觀眾可透過這些互動裝置，將生理感測數據轉化為聲音，從而揭示隱藏於身體韻律中的模式與特質。
對生理回饋的解讀並非靜態結論，而是一個隨個人選擇與觀點持續協商的動態過程。音樂作為數據轉譯的媒介，因其能喚起情感共鳴的能力，在生理量測與個人體感間構築了一個開放且包容的感知框架，使抽象數據與感性經驗相連。
「生物電聲」作為一個實驗性平台，結合共融設計理念，探索不同身體條件下的音樂表達可能性。此計畫試圖回應數據主導的健康敘事，並提出主觀經驗在數據解讀中的重要性，邀請人們思考身體、科技與音樂在健康照護及日常生活中的潛在角色與價值。
“Body Electric: Prototypes for Musical Expression with Physiological Sensing” explores physiological sensing for musical expression by developing prototypes that transform biological signals, such as electromyography, respiration, and pulse, into musical languages. Participants can use these prototypes to participate in the sonification process, which reveals patterns and qualities intrinsic to our internal rhythms and prompts reflection on how we interpret and express bio-states.
Interpreting biofeedback is not a static conclusion but an evolving process shaped by choices and perspectives. Employing music as a medium for data translation offers a dynamic framework for perception. It intertwines biological measurements with personal understanding, bridging the gap between abstract data and embodied experience.
“Body Electric” is an experimental platform that embraces inclusivity. It facilitates alternative musical expression across various physical conditions. The project responds to the dominance of data-driven health narratives by encouraging a reevaluation of self-awareness and subjective experience while exploring the role of music in caregiving and everyday life.
裝置介紹 Prototypes
Pulse Drifter (PD-01)
此裝置透過偵測使用者的脈搏來觸發節奏，並將心跳轉化為聲音的核心節奏。在手部活動受限的情境下，使用者可藉由旋轉或傾斜裝置來改變節奏密度與規則，創造層次分明的聲音結構。以使用者的脈搏節奏為基準，建立身體內在模式與聲音輸出的直接關聯。
This device detects the user’s pulse to generate rhythmic patterns, converting the heartbeat into the foundation of the sound. In scenarios where hand mobility is restricted, users can tilt or rotate the device to modify the density and arrangement of the rhythm, creating layered sound structures. The pulse rhythm, however, remains the core driver, establishing a direct connection between internal bodily signals and auditory output.
Breath Luminer (BL-01)
此裝置結合呼吸動態與燈光變化，根據使用者的呼吸頻率與強度觸發不同音色，並同步調整燈光的亮度與聲音觸發頻率，形成聲光一體的感官回饋，讓人從中覺察與調節自己的呼吸模式。
This device integrates breathing dynamics with light modulation, triggering distinct tonal changes based on breathing frequency and intensity while adjusting light brightness and sound interval. Sound and light provide real-time sensory feedback, enabling users to observe and regulate their breathing patterns.
Force Encoder (FE-01)
此裝置利用肌肉緊繃程度來控制音序器中的音符密度，模擬身體活動與聲音生成之間的互動關係。裝置設有旋鈕與推桿，參考常見的音樂控制介面，讓使用者在操作過程中直觀地感知與調整聲音參數，讓腦中音樂想法與身體協作。
This device measures muscle tension to control the density of notes in a sequencer, simulating the interaction between physical movement and sound generation. Equipped with knobs and sliders inspired by conventional music interfaces, this device enables users to easily perceive and adjust sound parameters, fostering a seamless collaboration between mind and body.
