How to hear beyond sound and what does it mean to learn how to listen diversely?

Drawing from acoustic epistemology, speculative philosophy of perception and notions of focused listening states, I aim to explore listening as a complex act, with emphasis on multiplicity in hearing that, which is being expressed as an instance that is both individual and collective at the same time. Participants will be given a set of instructions to perform and engage with the space and its s(urr)ounding, exploring the notions of deep listening beyond identification of the sonorous sources.

Karmen Ponikvar is a sound artist, currently studying sound at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague. Through microtonal sonic structures, sculptures of spatial imaginaries and speculative philosophies of perception, she explores the intimate relationships between sound, space and place.
