Ximena Alarcón's bio:
Dr. Ximena Alarcón is a sound artist-researcher interested in listening and sounding our sonic migrations: the resonances left in between the borders we cross when we tune in and meet others across distant locations. Throughout her career, she has created telematic sonic improvisations and interfaces for relational listening, to understand sensorially migratory experiences.
She is a Deep Listening® certified tutor, with a PhD in Music Technology and Innovation. Her major works are Sounding Underground (IOCT-DMU, Leverhulme Trust, 2007-2009), the telematic sound performances’ series Networked Migrations (CRiSAP-UAL, 2011-2017), and INTIMAL: Interfaces for Relational Listening (RITMO-UiO, Marie Skłodowska Curie IF, 2017-2019). In Bath, with The Studio Recovery Fund 2021, she created the INTIMAL App© for people to explore their “migratory journeys”, exploring sense of place and telepresence.
