Empathy: Being touched

Second workshop by the University of Applied Arts Vienna focusing on the interaction of visual objects with sounds, melodies and rhythms.

Together with DEMEDARTS, we offer visitors (all are welcome) a sensual experience: in the first room we engage our visitors to create a mobile sculpture as a visual reflection of positive memories. On location using different materials participants can give their mobile an individual appearance and haptic feel. Balancing these mobiles, the participants are interacting with the objects between the musicians, letting them interpret the visual objects into sounds, melodies and rhythms as graphic notation. Reflecting these sonorous associations music empathises with the arts and vice versa.

DEMEDARTS Dementia.Empathy.Education.Arts. is a funded research project by the FWF A-609 and aims to raise empathy for dementia in our society. DEMEDARTS pursues the topic of dementia with a positive, productive and sustainable approach. DEMEDARTS develops educational art- and design strategies and collaborates with national and international partners in the arts, education, therapy, health and care sector.
