Theme: exchange
Tactology Lab 1: Exchange, is a 4-day structured workshop program for developing physical, tangible electronic prototypes for a live performance context. We use the exchange of expertise as a main tool. We provide a unique learning space including basic materials and coaching by professionals.
In four days, participants worked towards exposing and performing instrument prototypes during the Gaudeamus festival in September 2021.

Since 2021 we organize 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.
Additionally, the creative processes and the results will be shared via an online platform to provide an international stage to local makers.
