Ximena Alarcón

Ximena Alarcón is a sound artist researcher interested in listening to in-between spaces: dreams, underground public transport, and the migratory context. She creates telematic improvisations using Deep Listening, and interfaces for relational listening. She has a PhD in Music, Technology and Innovation from De Montfort University (2007), and is a Deep Listening® certified tutor.
Her major artistic research projects are: the online environment Sounding Underground (IOCT-DMU, The Leverhulme Trust Fellowship 2007-2009); the telematic performances Networked Migrations (CRiSAP - UAL, 2011-2017); and INTIMAL: an "embodied" physical-virtual system for relational listening in telematic sonic performance (RITMO-UiO, 2017-2019, Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship).
Ximena is currently a Senior Tutor in the online Deep Listening certification program offered by the Center for Deep Listening (RPI), and works independently in the second phase of the INTIMAL project that involves: an "embodied" physical-virtual system for sensing place and presence between distant locations; and a co-creation laboratory for listening to migrations for Latin American migrant women.
