Intimate Aural Aesthetics: Methodologies for Cultivating Inclusive Participatory Spaces of Deep Reflection
In an era of constant and divisive media environments, how can intimate sensory experiences create more inclusive spaces for deep reflection and actions toward positive social change and engagement?
The artists presenting in this session are interested in exploring the capacity of sound in augmented, virtual and immersive environments to bring communities together, transgress borders and expose gaps in how we frame our views.
Collectively, these artists share an interest in cultivating phenomenological engagements with sound that create a visceral haptic or perceptual experience for the listener/participant.
The panel will share practice-based methodologies for creating participatory and collaborative environments that require public interaction to activate the artwork.
