[hal-01073237] Listening otherwise

What does " listening otherwise " mean without ears? How to access and put into practice the vibratory domain, for persons who are either handicapped or not? The de- vices for "listening through touch" transmit sound signals via materials thanks to a custom-designed computer pro- gram and adapted interfaces. Henceforth, one can hear sounds through the body. Listening by touch modifies sound and space represen- tations and thus questions perceptual standards of sound signals transmission by air. How to put the practical and technical conditions which favours a sensorial elaboration and provides access to creative practices accessible to all sensory dis/abilities? I will present several aspects of an artistic and pedagogic project which has been realized at the National Institute of Deaf Youth (in Paris).
