Guest Speaker: Isabella Pighi

Isabella Pighi will give a talk to the Mixed Reality Lab on Friday 22nd April.

The consumption of music is increasingly a solitary affair. With smartphones and headphones, the on the move urban populations use music as a means of retreating into a self-controlled environment where real interaction with others is minimized. Music taste is shaped by algorithms, streaming platforms and not by chance discovery. This is at odds with a pre-digital age where music was more socially cohesive and more commonly shared by people in real-space in real-time.

Chance encounters led to chance discovery. We now live in a time of massive amounts of available music but the ‘echo-effect’ of similar tastes reflected back has increased. Myooz aims to create serendipitous connection between people creating surprising and real musical exchanges where they take place.
