WHAT HUMS BEYOND
by Merche Blasco. 3rd February 2025. 4pm-6pm. Room 408-409.
The electromagnetic field hums all around us, shaping the spaces we inhabit yet escaping our senses. What if we could listen in? This performative talk invites you to explore the hidden energy of this building. We will listen to a sound piece composed from its electromagnetic presence, followed by hands-on exploration using custom-built antennas to tune into the building’s invisible landscape. Can we create a collective hum that resonates with the building’s unique frequency?
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)
