PhD project
Tipping Points in Transmediation
The project develops around the transmediation of scientific reports on entrainment into sound installations. In the field of chronobiology, entrainment denotes the faculty of living organisms to relate their internal rhythm to environmental rhythms. Transmediation is placed at the center of the project so to analyse the tipping point of its feasibility, testing the medial affordances of text and sound.
