    Juan Duarte


    Embodied Listening.
    This presentation deals with my artistic research concerning the possibility to attune to our weather and atmosphere through the act of listening. Focusing on our bodily capacities to perceive the weather in combination with instruments and audio technologies.

    Biography
    Duarte is an artist-researcher and a Ph.D. candidate at Aalto University in Finland. He has a BA in Audiovisual Communication from U. Claustro de Sor Juana and a Master of Arts in New Media, Design, and Production from Aalto. He has collected experiences in sound design, interactive technologies, and media research. His work revolves around the symbiotic relationship between nature and technology, particularly through environmental sound.

    His approach yields unique artifacts resonating with the connection between nature and technology. He aims to create diversified technologies that facilitate a series of augmented listening experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of the environment's interplay with technology and culturally situated knowledge.
