HUMAN LEARNING
Human Learning is a body and sound research project that addresses the limitations of human cognitive abilities. In order to carry out this research and audiovisual creation project, an interactive tool has been developed that creates and modifies sound and light in real time based on body movements.
The device is made up of accelerometer gyroscope-type sensors, which are the ones that our smartphones have to detect with maximum precision the position in space of the phone, and LED screens. These sensors located at the extremities of the body, provide the position and speed during the interaction. The data is instantly translated into sound and light, turning this tool into a physical audiovisual device for emotional expression.
The tool has been provided to people who use the body as a means of expression and to people with hearing disabilities so that they can experience different audiovisual compositions or choreographic patterns.

By being built through the reappropriation of technological devices as an artistic medium, this project raises questions about how we actively interact with the digital environment around us through real-time interaction.
Speculating about a future where humans could carry technology integrated into our bodies, the proposal explores through bodily interactive devices, the sensory modalities of memory beyond the digital world. Recent technological innovations allow us to profoundly redesign ourselves, from artificial intelligence networked prosthetics to the genetic code of life itself.
Can our feelings be reduced to algorithms? Can our bodies be enhanced with non-organic integrations? Can sensitivity be manufactured in a laboratory?
The idea is to examine personality from anatomical, psychological, genetic, sensory, behavioral, algorithmic and personal narrative and memory. In many ways, this investigation is an emotional confrontation with inhabiting a human body.The aim of this study is to reflect on the past, current and future ways of the impact that technology has on human nature, as well as our physical and emotional limitations.
