Dear Colleagues and friends,

We have a new research group in the Department of Media, focusing on sound and its emerging role in New Media practices. Sound and Physical Interaction (SOPI) research group deals with digital sound in more aesthetically engaging forms. We are interested in the research and implementation of sound design together with physical interaction practices on various levels to advance their roles and impact in the future of media and interactive art. The research group combines the knowledge in Sonic Interaction and expertise in Interactive Art/Music. It aims to broaden this focus by collaboration at a national and an international level. Our research room (nr. 393 & ministudio) is located on the 3rd floor, please come and visit us any time!
