Tactology Lab

Since 2021 we organise the so-called Tactology Lab, a multiple-day structured program that brings artists and creators together to explore new ways of (tactile) interaction with electronics.

We believe that expression through tactile electronics can amplify a personal, visible, rousing performance experience, enhancing a strong connection between performer and audience. With Tactology Lab, Sounds Like Touch provides a unique learning space, basic materials and coaching by professionals.

The program fosters the exchange between (local) professional artists and designers, collaborating on new tangible electronic ways of expression for a performance context: either live on stage or in an exhibition setting.

The results of Tactology Lab 1: ‘Exchange’ were presented during Gaudeamus festival in 2021, and the results of Lab 2: ‘Perform’ and Lab 3: ‘Craft’ during Rewire festival 2022 and 2025 respectively. The next Tactology Lab is expected in the first half of 2026.
