Abstract
This paper describes SynKu, a mobile application that merges audio and image processing with human interpretation to speculate on the production of sensory objects. Sensory objects are representations of sensory phenomena interpreted and used by both people and software. We discuss how the SynKu application enables us to explore how algorithms help to change and legitimate the reconstruction of sensory phenomena across self-tracking platforms.
