Ximena Alarcón-Díaz

United Kingdom - Colombia

Sound and listening artist-researcher exploring alternative forms of sensing place and telepresence to listen to and sound collectively our sonic migrations: the resonances left in between the borders we cross when we tune in and meet others across distant locations. She has a PhD in Music, Technology and Innovation, and studied Deep Listening creative practice under the tutelage of Pauline Oliveros. Throughout her career, she has created telematic sonic improvisations and interfaces for relational listening to understand sensorially migratory experiences.

She works independently developing INTIMAL an embodied telematic listening environment to experience “migratory journeys”. She is interested in voice and immersive audio, as the possibilities of expanding vocal presence for the emergence of aural territories of memory and emotion.
