Invisible Soma is a creative technology venture founded by Vilelmini Kala that transforms physiological data into real-time immersive artistic experiences and somatic tools. At the heart of our activity is the development and application of software and sensor-integrated systems that enable the translation of inner bodily experiences—such as heartbeat, temperature, and skin conductance—into audio-visual and performative expressions.
Services:
1) Dance Productions – Original and commissioned works integrating biosensor technology into choreography and live performing arts.
2) Workshops – Designed for dance education, body awareness, and somatic wellness, incorporating biofeedback for experiential learning.
3) Consulting & Custom Development – Tailored interactive spaces and installations for cultural institutions, festivals, and museums.
4) Research Services – Collaborative R&D projects with academic institutions and research labs exploring the intersection of embodiment, emotion, and digital expression.
Value:
Our tools empower creative professionals to engage with physiological signals not as scientific data, but as expressive material that reveals inner felt experiences—enhancing body awareness, deepening emotional resonance, and expanding the sense of connection, interaction, and empathy between performer and audience. By turning invisible internal states into shared sensory experiences, Invisible Soma pioneers a new frontier in bio-integrative art-tech, where science, sensation, and performance converge to expand human connection and perception.
Vilelmini Kala is the founder of Invisible Soma. She is a dancer, choreographer, and a Computer Scientist with with a specialization Cognitive science, human movement, and body as mean of sensation and perception. Vilelmini designs the interactive system using wearable bio-sensors and develops the software required for real-time streaming, collection, and analysis of the data, which are then send to the sound artist for audio augmentation.

φø (Fotis Rovolis) is the sound artist of Invisisble Soma. Having studied Architecture (Thessaly), Electroacoustic music composition (Sonology/Artscience (Hague), NKUA (athens)), they explore the boundaries between sound, body and space through installations, soundscapes, perfomances, digital collages and videos. Main part of their process is finding a certain sound bank, and creating everything out of it. In their works they express political, imaginary and queer narrations, using alternative identities/alias (Zirlar Mord Ω', norcimo ii). They They have collaborated in short films, theatrical pieces and performances. Recently they presented papers in the ICMC (Seoul) and SMC (Porto) conferences, in the "Latent Space" program (SNFCC) with their composition "TELEOST", in the 7th conference on acoustic ecology with the work "Snor(kel)ing" and in the "Worlds within worlds" program.
