Acoustic Territories
How
might tensions of urban life be addressed through a sonic perspective?
In what way does auditory experience generate particular forms of knowledge?
Where are the horizons and limits of acoustical identity? How might cities
be understood through the sounds they make, and in what ways do an acoustic
politics locate us? Acoustic Territories is a research project exploring
the exchanges between public environments and the people who use them
as registered through aural information, history and auditive interaction.
Aspects of urban life, popular culture, technologies of reproduction,
and the tensions of commonality and difference are brought forward, along
with investigations into aural life as heard through street cultures and
the spaces made through their noises. The project develops historical
and theoretical work through workshops, group projects, and critical reflection,
contributing to the cultural analysis of contemporary urban conditions
and auditory thinking. The work aims to challenge debates on noise pollution,
acoustic design, and listening practices, so as to bring into relief the
potentials and disjunctions between architecture, urban experience, and
related auditory expressions. |
