Abstract
Auditory feedback of body movement has shown to alter one’s body perception. We present a multidisciplinary strategy for articulating how body feelings are affected by movement sonifications. Through a participatory workshop involving methods from design research in HCI and cognitive science, we gathered qualitative and quantitative data revealing contrasting body feelings for two sonifications. Analyses revealed that agility/rigidity, weakness/strength, salience of body boundaries, emotions, and different bodily areas were differently affected. Our findings evidence this paradigm as efficient for distilling qualities altered by sonifications. We discuss its relevance for early stages of the research inquiry and its particular importance in the context of body movement sonifications.
