Summit participants include Dr. Jess Aslan, Professor Maria Chait, Professor John Drever, Dr. Iris Garrelfs and Maria Papadomanolaki.
The first session focuses on academic aspects of sound and audio to attempt an understanding in relation to art, space, politics and philosophy through presentations, artistic practice or demonstrations.
This academic session is followed by performances presenting a variety of artists who work with sound. The performances will take the form of both acoustic and electronic with performers using a wide range of methodologies to engage with sound production and performance.
This unique offer presents audiences with an opportunity to engage with exceptional practitioners alongside one another enabling a cross pollination of ideas and practices.
