Abstract:
In this short paper we discuss how neurodiverse individuals participated in a creative, artistic activity through group interaction mediated by a multiuser interactive audio-visual interface called Resonance. The Resonance digital interface enables sound art making and group performances in communities with disabilities. We combine principles from interaction design and tangible user interaction in a community arts context to examine how shareable interfaces for sound art performance can promote inclusion and wellbeing in the arts. We reflect on our approach and workshop development that support individual and group creativity. We discuss the potential of the Resonance interface to empower individuals with disabilities to co-create sonic art forms that foster a sense of independence and inclusion.
