Sonic Cyberfeminisms: A Music Theatre and Installation Project Employing Soft Robotics

A presentation from 2024–2025 Rieman and Baketel Fellow for Music Patricia Alessandrini Patricia Alessandrini is a composer/sound artist, electronics performer, and researcher who explores immersion, interaction, creative AI, and instrument design for inclusive performance. At Radcliffe, Alessandrini is working on a cyberfeminist futurist intermedial music theater work set in outer space for coloratura virtuosi Marisol Montalvo and Donatienne Michel-Dansac and ensemble, based on a libretto by the novelist Alexandra Kleeman. Informed by feminist theory of Donna Haraway, Judy Wacjman, and others, this work posits how future technologies could develop in a distributive, nonhierarchical manner in the absence of male and other hegemonies. In particular, Alessandrini and her team of Radcliffe research partners are employing soft robotics and principles of affective computing in the design of a singing cyborg “pet” capable of reacting empathetically to biosignals, which will also be featured in an installation at Le Fresnoy Art Center in Fall 2025.
