Call for a student research assistant (product design)

Sentire project, Institut für Musikwissenschaft und Medienwissenschaft,
Humboldt University Berlin

Sentire is a Berlin-based project and collective that began in 2016 as a
participatory performance series (https://sentire.me), in which
proximity and touch events between two people are sonified. It is now
also an ongoing interdisciplinary research, connecting artists,
researchers, developers and therapists. The main goal of our research is
to develop a system that enhances the body perception of its users and
can be used in the
context of music therapy.
