Resonance and Rebellion
Sound is a fundamental and rich source of information, yet often overlooked. It is physical, sensorial, and emotional, as well as social, cultural, and environmental. Sound contributes to the transformation of our experiences, environments, and cultures. This immersive fluid session will seek to emphasise the importance of sound and sound art to human interactions with, and understandings, of their environment. The conversation will focus on the distinctions between sound, noise and silence; the politics of listening; sound and noise as they relate to particular soundscapes and environments; and the ways in which to more critically engage with sound through combining academic research and artistic practice across communities.
