Touch me! is a multisensory performance that explores the human need for contact and closeness. Altered bodies require the warmth of touch and hugs. Coldness becomes warmth to reach sensory explosion. Touch me! is a project by PDP11 that involves Carlos García Miragall, Paco Sanmartin, Carlos Barberá, and no(DOS)3 (Elia Torrecilla and Cristina Ghetti), Martina Botella, Paloma and Gilles Martin (Sono·lab), collaborating with Sono.Lab de las Naves (Ayuntamiento de Valencia) and the Universitat Politécnica de València (PID2020-116186RA-C32).
This performance took place during the Volumens Festival in Valencia, in the multipurpose space of the Naves del Ayuntamiento de Valencia in November 2021.

Sono·lab
Sono·lab is a first experimental sound laboratory to promote social innovation and democratize knowledge of new trends in music creation and production. It is aimed at the general public, from people in the music and musical creation world to students, neophyte individuals, and vulnerable groups. Democratizing knowledge means opening it up to everyone. The objectives of Sono·lab, whose responsible person is Gilles Martin, are:
• Use innovation applied to music through emerging tools to help create a more shared, inclusive, and integrated city.
• Provide Valencia with a collaborative, diverse, and inclusive space dedicated to researching new tools for music creation and production.
• Interact with agents from the four helixes through collaboration agreements, dissemination events, and prototyping activities.
