PhD Project
Tipping Points in Transmediation
The project explores the transmediation of scientific reports on entrainment into sound installations. In the field of chronobiology, entrainment refers to the ability of living organisms to synchronize their internal rhythms with environmental rhythms. Transmediation is central to the project, which aims to analyze the tipping point of its feasibility by testing the medial affordances of text and sound.
