Movement and Sound Variations on Smart Object Environments

In contemporary society, digital devices increasingly dictate our behaviour, blurring the line between human agency and machine compliance while striving for smooth and seamless interactions. Sound signals plays a significant role in shaping our behaviour and how we experience these interactions. This research explores which aspects of our humanity may be diminished or transformed through these daily interactions with digital systems. At the same time, it asks how sound and interaction design might become tools to reimagine these systems - allowing for more embodied awareness rather than passive compliance. keywords: Psychology of Sound, Embodied Research, Acoustic Ecology, Affective Computing, Human Computer Interaction, Trust and Agency, Somatics
