LISTENING IN: SONIC STRATEGIES FOR BRIGHTER CITIES
by Jeremy Knowles. 4pm-6pm. 13th January 2025. Room 212 (begins in the main entrance hall).
Though we, as humans, are sensitive to so much – spectrums of light perceived through the eye, sonic frequencies received by the eardrum, various forces felt and interpreted on the surface of the skin and throughout our fleshy bodies – there is also much of the natural and the digital that we cannot pick up on. But by tuning our ears to subtle changes in sound that are imperceivable merely through sight, we can define and categorise light sonically. Instead of just seeing the light that brightens our cities at night, we can listen in.
Activating Waves: Vibrations between art and anthropology
For this year’s STADTLABOR FOR MULTIMODAL ANTHROPOLOGY: WINTER SERIES 2024-2025, the ERC team has organised a series of events that explore the intersection between art and anthropology in relation to wave-related phenomena and their possible multimodal activation and representation. In this semester’s Stadtlabor Series, artists and art-anthropology teams will share with us how they use non-textual ways of making the immaterial tangible, and how they translate physical waves into shared experiences.
All events will take place at the Institute for European Ethnology (IfEE)
Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Str. (ehem. ~~Mohren~~str.) 41,
