"Acousmatic-Somatic Utopias" is a multimedia collaboration between utopian science fiction writing and audiovisual installation led by Aramo Olaya (fictional theory and writing, visuals, and somatic practice as research) and Xiu (algorithms, electronics, sound, web, and math investigations). This project is part of our endeavors as the NEOTERRISM COLLECTIVE.

This project reflects on the liminality between scientific and artistic practice. It focuses on the study and development utopian algorithms and utopian acousmatic-somatic methodologies. Its ultimate intention is to facilitate the training of our sensitivity to foster communication with the human and non-human and to inspire creative thinking and praxis towards hopeful futures.

This is Xiu's work diary for the Artistic Residency at Laboral Centro de Arte. For more info on Aramo's work please visit the multimedia webpage of the fiction trilogy "ANARQUIA O BARBARIE", and Aramo's compiled research padlet "Touching with the Alien".
