A taxonomy for Listening and Performing ‘in-between’ migratory spaces using mobile apps

After four years developing telematic sonic performances via the Internet, listening to the ‘in-between’ space in the context of human migration (Alarcón, 2014; 2015; 2016), I argue that questions derived from technical challenges and accessibility suggest the exploration of mobile phones for such performances. I suggest key components to develop an app turning around the concept of ‘in-betweeness’ (Ortega, 2008), which finds resonances with the concept ‘net-locality’ (de Souza e Silva, 2013), emerging from people’s interaction in a mobile space. Focusing on a qualitative review of apps, I propose a taxonomy of listening and performing to facilitate and widen the exploration of ‘in-betweeness’.
