SPATIAL LISTENING

25 May 2023 12-8pm

Overview

This one-day series of listening events stems from an ongoing project that seeks to create sonic relationships between individuals and their architectural environments.

Participatory Installation: 12pm–7pm

Spatial Listening Workshop: 4pm–5pm

Performance Intervention: 7pm–8pm

De Little’s collective, multi-part experiment invites audiences to participate in sounding and listening as an alternative methodology of knowing, understanding and relating. As a perceptual tool, listening transforms the architectural environment from a visual landscape, rendering it instead as a dynamic time-space whose contours are perpetually modulated by sounds as received by listeners.

Throughout the day, a participatory installation will foreground these potent sonic modes, capturing real-time speech and movements within the gallery space. An artist-led spatial listening workshop, building from breathwork and bodywork, will enact a series of engagements with the architectural spaces of the CCA. The evening will end with a performance intervention by the artist, further introducing, recycling and layering sound to activate the installation.
