Ricardo Huisman sound image artist www.ricardohuisman.com
Ricardo Huisman is an Amsterdam-based Dutch sound image artist. For several years, he has been making installations with sound sculptures that can be experienced as multi-sensorial tactile interfaces. The so-called “touch-sound” produced by his “tactile sound sculptures” includes composed soundscapes that reveal multiple associative dimensions, bodily sensations that give rise to new spaces for imagination and knowledge. In a playful experimental way, Huisman invites the public to interact within his art (research) projects to become co-creators of their own “multi sensorial hearing perspective” and response-able and responsible joint owners of the sound habitat. In this way, he aims to rethink the ways we hear and act in our sound habitat, including sound histories, reminiscences and narratives. His international art work includes presentations at art sense festivals for people with hearing disabilities, reminiscences projects for vulnerable elderly people with dementia, workshops for sight disabled children, community sound art projects, collaborations with musicians, poets, neighbours, scientists in sound and sense studies.

Artist statement: “we can be more aware of our being sound performers in our own sound habitat”
Conference Presentations by Ricardo Huisman
Introduction of my ongoing artistic research about what I call “the multi sensorial hearing perspective” and raising some questions about the multi modal aspects of hearing and a hearing perspective. Example of community sound art - project.
Books by Ricardo Huisman
The "woollen sound pill", a woollen sound sculpture in the shape of a medicine capsule, was presented as "tactile sonic intervention" in Dutch chemist's shops and later in old peoples home. The sounds of the "woollen sound pill" are hearable reflected in the space but also touchable; resonances and vibrations can be felt in different nuances: "touchsound". The article also describes the woollen sound pill as "woollen time capsule", as statement against Muzak, as medicine, a tool for acoustic ecology, reactions on the woollen sound pill in the chemist's, as reflection of sonic heritage of the chemist's, presenting in another place/context.
