Moon Ribas is a Catalan avant-garde artist and cyborg activist best known for developing the Seismic Sense, an online seismic sensor implanted in her arm that allows her to perceive earthquakes through vibrations in real time. In order to share her experience, she then translates her new sense on stage. Her performances are a direct result of the interaction between the movement of the tectonic plates and its interpreter. Ribas transposes the earthquakes into either sound, in her piece Seismic Percussion; or dance, in Waiting For Earthquakes, allowing the audience to feel a direct connection to the planet.
