Back in 2009, Ryan Jordan (MFA in Computational Studio Arts) created Sensory Response Systems, an exploration into audio-visual performance using an array of sensors and controllers responsive to physical movements.
The project also explored the reshaping and replication of the body through the use of fabrics, textiles and technologies in order for the performer to fully embody and ‘become’ the instrument.
The overall aim was to bring a more direct and immediate relationship and control over the sound and images being generated, and to allow for full body expression and intimacy between performer and instrument (computer).

“Embedded in wires and circuits, Ryan Jordan beams throbbing, ritualistic
recreations of rave musik from some dystopic future place where all recording
technology is long since gone and only folk memories of ‘dance music’ exist.”
