Abstract: 200-500 words
Philosophical and scientific theories, such as phenomenology, ecology and enactionism, offered support for the proposed theory and practice of this research, in the context of art and technoscience. The enactive soundscapes afford aesthetic experiences, that have been termed as naturalized. The approach of different areas of human knowledge that has allowed propose such enactive soundscapes that updating the soundscape concept of seventies of last century, through the incorporation of sensing technologies and data relationship, from theories as the aforementioned.Creative practices tested and validated the assumptions and resulted in work for two International Biennials: an installation with soundscape and urban life events mixed in 29th. Bienal de São Paulo,and an enactive system for 11a. Havana Biennial. The specific case study, a project named "Frog's Signature", was the culmination of the thesis and the convergence of knowledge in the areas of arts, music, engineering, philosophy, geography and biology. Once done the reporting of the results of the aforementioned activities, I propose a discussion about the possibilities of a naturalized aesthetic experience through the theoretical contribution of phenomenology, ecology and enactionism.
