#sonicwilderness {embodied} political sound, collective instrumentality & critical listening

CULTIVATE A CULTURE OF CRITICAL LISTENING

In this semester’s Visiting Artist’s Studio, we will experience together sound interventions in public space, nature and dream space. Adapting to the deadly-virus world and it’s realities we look at space for resonance room to explore, sound and listen, critic, reflect and sonify. We listen and analyse to the current world and identify space for artistic intervention. We also study histories of sound interventions in our local realities for example Czech history and globally.

the sonic perspective

Exploring the following questions: What is political sound ? What is collective sound? Does sound have a transformative quality ? When and how was sound used in the past to express dissent, protest or calls for transformation ? How can we sound together and decolonize our practice as a individualistic form or expression ? What technology can we involve, develop or hack?

Who is the course for?

This course is aimed at anyone who has interest in sound, listening, technology and critical thinking. No specific skills aside from interest and dedication are needed to take part in these seminars. These seminars will be based on your reflections on the material and power of sound, of {audio}collectiveness, the states of the worlds, that we experience. We will watch and read alone & together.

Commitment:

What I ask from you, in terms of commitment, is for you to attend all of the seminars, which given the current situation the atelier/seminars will be held online. Each seminar will require some preparation like reading short texts in English and watch relevant material online. As a participant, will be asked to make presentations of your own work and I will be offering individual tutorials.

Outcome:

Aside from university practice, there is a possibility to publish work on rec-on.org. If the situation around Covid-19 lockdowns will improve, we consider presenting results within local venues (like Terén - Brno, LOM - Bratislava, Prague Synth Library - Prague).
