SUMMARY:INTIMAL: Listening for place and tele-presence. Lecture by Ximena A
 larcón
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: sylvia.lysko@iac.lu.se\n\nSince 2017\, I have been dev
 eloping Interfaces for Relational Listening (INTIMAL) to support the liste
 ning for place and telepresence through improvisatory telematic sonic perf
 ormances in the context of human migration. My quest for interface is soni
 c\, digital\, and cultural\, to listen to and compose collectively in-betw
 een sonic spaces which respond to the nature of the migratory condition\, 
 what interfaces us within cultural and geographical differences. The inter
 faces support accessing what I have called Sonic Migrations: the resonance
 s left in between the borders we cross when we tune in and meet others acr
 oss distant locations.&nbsp\;As my work is consolidating\, through the und
 erstanding of many years of large artistic projects and the writing of sco
 res\, I have felt the urge to write a book that holds philosophically and 
 poetically the search for interface and the collective sounding of our mig
 rations. Being originally a deep personal search\, the idea is taking shap
 e in two possible and complementary books: INTIMAL and Sonic Migrations. O
 ne book\, consolidating my technological imagination\, based on what I hav
 e achieved\, and envisioning new creations with technology towards future 
 listenings.&nbsp\;The second\, a poetic audio handbook with exercises for 
 improvisation that could reach any listener and specifically migrant commu
 nities\, going beyond language divides\, to support the transcendence of t
 he migratory experience. In this talk\, I will show drafts of these ideas\
 , as creative layouts to possible readings of my artistic work. I would lo
 ve to engage with students and general audiences in the reach that these p
 ublications might take.&nbsp\;You are also welcome to register for the wor
 kshop Breathing Traces. A workshop in Sonic Migrations by Ximena Alarcón\
 , which will takes place on 30 and 31 October 2025 at IAC. Read more about
  the workshop here!Dr. Ximena Alarcón is a sound artist and researcher ex
 ploring sonic migrations – the sensory experiences of crossing borders t
 hrough sound and listening. She creates telematic improvisations and inter
 faces for relational listening\, and composes hybrid listening rituals wit
 h trained and untrained musicians.She holds a PhD in Music Technology and 
 is a certified Deep Listening® tutor. Her key projects include Sounding U
 nderground\, Networked Migrations\, and INTIMAL\, which led to the creatio
 n of the INTIMAL App© for exploring migratory journeys through sound.Xime
 na teaches Deep Listening® and leads the Intimal collective\, supporting 
 Latin American migrant women in listening to their migrations and reimagin
 ing femininity\, territory\, and care.Visit Ximena Alarcón artist page -
