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.
PRESENTATION
The results of Tactology Lab 1: ‘Exchange’ were presented during Gaudeamus festival in 2021, and the results of Lab 2: ‘Perform’, Lab 3: ‘Craft’ and Lab 4: ‘Motion’ during Rewire festival 2022, 2025 and 2026.
The open call for participants will open mid October. Tactology Lab #5 will be held in Spring 2027. Please sign up for our newsletter if you want to receive updates.
“What’s really special is having a really concentrated time with people who are interested in the same topic. But also to really, like, melt it in. Not just remain as a salad of different ideas but really balancing each other’s ideas. Really getting to fully understand the other person’s idea and to create a whole piece together. I think that’s the beauty of what there is here.”
— Sue Kim, participant of Tactology Lab #3
