Listening Topologies
Sound Installation
Interactive environment
Listening Topologies was an artistic research project developed during a summer Residency in Hranice - in Czech Republic, at Kravin Rural Arts in Hranice - Vysočina and has resulted into a participatory workshop . It has formed through a process based series of site specific interventions. The project examines how boundaries and borders can be reinterpreted through sonic representations and speculative mapping strategies. They invite us to go through the land from the perspective of a listener, instead of a viewer.
“I let that sensation lead my walk. It is a state when sound leads my body and shapes a trajectory in space.
Trusting this form of navigation and giving it the same value as following a regular map.”
The interactive sound installation was based on a MaxMSP patch that re-arranges the captured field recordings into a new sonic topology - an interractive sonic map of Hranice. This sound map becomes activated through visitors' interaction with a light source that can be moved in space. Depending on the position of the light, different field recordings from the map are triggered, the visitor defines which part of the map will be listened to. With every new placement of the light, the visitor gets a different combination of fieldrecordings.
