Sonic Microinteraction in "the Air"

Abstract

This chapter looks at the ways in which micromotion, the smallest controllable and perceivable human body motion, can be used in interactive sound systems. It presents a general taxonomy, followed by examples of how sonic microinteraction was designed and rehearsed in the scientific-artistic project Sverm. Here, the focus was on micromotion and microaction performed in “the air,” but the concepts developed by the project can also be transferred to other types of microinteraction.
