In this person-centred design program that combines technology and creativity, students rethink how we experience sound. Inspired by the SENSUAL exhibition, they will collect sounds from the gallery and unexpected objects, experiment with music software, and explore how our brains and bodies shape perception. Using their recordings, they will design a music or ASMR experience for a person or character, considering how that individual’s senses and needs influence how they experience the world around them.

Double-length Workshop: $21 per student 
$50 education service fee applies to all bookings
