Sound Installation
Interractive environment
Interractive environment
Listening Topologies is an interractive installation, inspired by the concept of Sound-maps. Virtual maps that are usually in the form of a website, where field recordists can attach recorded sounds from a specific location. These sonic maps offer us a listening moment within a landscape that might be out of our current reach. They invite us
to see the world from the perspective of a listener, instead of a viewer. I became interested in how similar kinds of projects, based in the digital spaces, can bring us different perspectives on navigating our physical reality.
Putting an emphasis on the sonic representation of the world, followed by the visual.
The idea 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 listening experience from the local landscape.
…”When I am field recording, hunting for sounds, either alone or with someone, I get into a state when I am mainly trying to perceive the landscape through sound. I let that sensation lead my walk, define where I will go. It’s a state when sound leads my body and shapes a trajectory in space.”
