This essay analyzes how “digital anesthesia” fragments contemporary attention. It argues that the transition to Homo Sensorium is a transdisciplinary imperative that links the philosophy and neurobiology of music with ecosophy. In this way, it addresses the perception of art as a system of profound interconnections with a hermeneutic approach that integrates the perspective of artistic practice. The essay contributes to artistic and social reflection by reinterpreting the concert, opera, and ballet as devices of sensory sovereignty. Finally, it posits that live music is not merely a pedagogical or aesthetic resource, but a vital necessity for reclaiming presence and somatic awareness in the real world. This allows for the recovery of human sovereignty. This awakening occurs in a privileged way in the arts of musical performance with a written tradition: opera and ballet. Unlike the immediacy of scrolling, this ritual demands that we look up and inhabit the present. To support this position, the text offers a documentary review.
