Sonify Collective Human Intelligence
Dario Mattia, Fabrizio Festa · 2025
Sonify Collective Human Intelligence (SCHI) is a musical installation that explores collective intelligence's cooperative functions by transforming human interaction into a multisensory experience. Biometric sensors capture real-time physiological variations within a group, translating psycho-emotional shifts into sound and visual design. This interaction creates a data flow that translates emotional state changes into real-time sound textures generated and processed by live electronics. An improvising soloist interacts with this evolving sound design, forming a self-regenerating sound cycle responsive to collective emotions. This research contributes an unexplored framework for integrating biometric data into artistic expression, demonstrating biofeedback's potential in collaborative, emotion-driven interaction, bridging psychology, music technology, and HCI.
