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 next Tactology Lab call for makers/artists opens on 31 october 2025!

Are you a professional artist or creator and are you interested in working with electronics and bodily interaction? Are you searching for ways to connect your physical artwork to digital/electronic means or the other way around? Tactology Lab might be for you!

There’s no need to have participated in any of the previous labs. We also have space for one or two students to participate.
