Human beings are deeply expressive through their voice and body language. To a vocalist, the body is both a musical instrument and an instrument for expressing emotions and intentionality. The singer can position the body and manipulate the vocal system in a way that improves tone quality and/or conveys nonverbal communication to the audience. Extending this concept of the singer's body as an instrument to the digital world has led to a sustained interest in and exploration of developing digital musical instruments (DMI) to control real-time vocal processing. Yet, no follow-up scientific evaluation of such DMI and its gesture-sound mapping strategies has been conducted. General design principles in this field are also absent. These little-studied art-science questions are crucial to systemize the fundamental theory in contemporary vocal performance and to make better art tools to further expand the human repertoire. This dissertation situates its analysis in the designing and evaluating of mediation technologies as artistic tools that can be used to promote the core values of underrepresented cultural heritage. From a scientific perspective, I conducted quantitative and qualitative research and proposed the first scientific evaluation framework for DMI design in vocal processing, specifically the mappings from (bodily) action to (sound) perception from the audience's perspective. Empirical data show evidence of valid design and identifying the audience's degree of musical engagement. From an engineering perspective, I defined DMI design principles based on my DMI design experience and the criteria of efficiency, music subjectivity, affordance, cultural constraints and meaning-making, and technology. These investigations on body-mind connections through mediation technologies provided the fundamentals of "Embodied Sonic Meditation," an artistic practice rooted in the richness of Tibetan contemplative culture, embodied cognition, and "deep listening." It invites new ways of using sensorimotor coupling through auditory feedback to create novel artistic expressions and to deepen our engagement in the world that we are living in. Three multimedia projects-Mandala, Tibetan Singing Prayer Wheel, and Resonance of the Heart-were realized as proof-of-concept case studies. This series of works demonstrates that through the practice of "Embodied Sonic Meditation" and her own work, a media artist can not only promote traditional underrepresented culture but also project these cultural values and identities into the cutting-edge art and technology context of contemporary society.
