Sensorium – Voice Beyond Language
Voice is fundamental to our sense of identity and participation in the world. The SENSORIUM project brings together arts, technology, and community-driven co-creation to generate new possibilities for developing creative and authentic expressions of voice, in all its forms – physical, social, cultural, and democratic.
About the project
In a fusion of art, technology and co-creation processes, SENSORIUM explores how the voice is a central artistic, physical, social and democratic tool. The project will investigate how the voice can be expressed in new artistic and authentic ways.
The main objective of the SENSORIUM project is to strengthen the voices of people with voice-related disabilities, speech impairments and atypical speech patterns – both in terms of physical voice and expression, as well as voice in terms of social and democratic inclusion.
The project is led by Copenhagen-based knowledge center EnactLab (DK) and non-profit arts production compay VisionIntoArt (US). Furthermore, the project consits of a broad range of artistic and technological partners, including NYU Ability Project (US), Artscape Theater (ZA) and ARUP – Raj Patel (US).
