On Mediating Space, Sound and Experience: Interviews with situated sound art practitioners

2/14/2022

 
Some time ago now (just before the pandemic in fact) I was interviewed by Nicole Robson, a PhD candidate in Media & Arts Technology at QMUL and a composer, musician and researcher exploring site-specific artworks.

It was a nice afternoon talking about the process of making site-specific sound works along with the terms for those involved - us as the makers of this work (my answer was 'an assembler, an aligner of things') and the name for the 'audience' ('participants' for me mainly).

I was one of nine interviews alongside other site-specific / responsive artists working with sound: 
James Bulley, Alex De Little, Roswitha von den Driesch & Jens-Uwe Dyffort, Sebastian Kite, Emma-Kate Matthews, Gerriet K. Sharma, Jeroen Vandesande and John Wynne. Nicole together with co-authors Nick Bryan-Kinns and Andrew McPherson have brought this together in the journal article 'On Mediating Space, Sound and Experience: Interviews with situated sound art practitioners' in Organized Sound journal. 

Their study has identified artists as mediators, 'transfer[ing] their own situated and embodied listening to that of the audience and develop[ing] sonic and staging devices to direct perceptual activity and listening attention' (p1). Plus findings that '(2) the audience has an active relationship to the work; (3) the artwork shapes behaviour and perceptual experience; and (4) [the] engagement challenges.' (p3).

This is a really nice study of the formation of situated / site-specific sound artworks. 
It has also been a nice opportunity to reflect on my own practice and research since Feb 2020, of how my 'site' of the body has expanded to include other people's bodies, interweaving an 'audience' as participant even more so.

Sustainable Sound: Lisa Hall, Jordan Lacey & Pamela Z

4/9/2021

Very pleased to be invited to be part of this Sustainable Sound series by CESSA (Concordia University) with Jordan Lacey and Pamela Z. I'm looking forward to connecting CESSA students in Montreal to the Acts of Air exhibition on the 26th.

It's been super interesting over the last couple of months doing workshops like this one - being able to be able to connect with people while they enact the artworks, watching their videos and talking about how their location and performative choices come into play. Looking forward to this one on the 26th! Sign up if you'd like to join in (there's a little space for non CESSA students I believe)
