Laura Papke
My name is Laura Papke (she/her) and I am an interdisciplinary designer and artistic researcher living and working in Eindhoven. In 2022 I set up my company Studio Papke under which I create experiences that foster collective spiritual well-being. These experiences come in various forms, such as participatory performances, installations, workshops, and performative lectures.
Sonic Driving is a participatory performance that invites people to connect to themselves and others through hearing and feeling their heartbeat. It uses pulse sensors that detect the participants’ heart rhythms, which are translated into unique frequencies ranging from 40 to 120 Hertz, making it an audible and tangible experience. From listening to an individual heartbeat to creating a collective symphony, the work aims to foster collective healing processes.
