Biosignal Augmented Embodied Performance.

We explore the phenomenology of embodiment based on research through design and reflection on the design of artefacts for augmenting embodied performance. We present three designs for musicians and a dancer; the designs rely on the artistsu0027 mastery acquired from years of practice. Through the knowledge of the living body, their instruments ---cello, flute and dance ---are extensions of themselves; thus, we can explore technology with rich nuances and precision in corporeal schemas. With the help of Merleau-Pontyu0027s phenomenology of embodiment we present two perspectives for augmented embodied performance: the interactively enacted teacher, and the humanisation of technology.
