Exhibition of the sonic environment Twenty Springs stemming from the Sono-Choreographic Collectives collaborative research Common Grounds on per-sonifying permafrost data with Julia Boike from the Alfred Wegener Institut Potsdam, together with a Guided Concert and Listening Session at Malmö Konsthall from 18th-22nd of October 2023
SONIC ISLANDS – Mirrored perceptions between Tierra del Fuego + Rügen
March and September 2023
SONIC ISLANDS focuses on the various auditory aspects of the TERRA IGNOTAproject and is part of TIF 2023/24. We are interested in the meaning of sound as a semantic system and as a form of artistic articulation. Questions about origin, identity, intercultural understanding but also about perception, legibility and interaction with the environment, social processes and structures beyond visually connoted reference systems are the subject of our joint research. Listening and making audible to stimulate changes of perspective in the process of artistic research and knowledge production as well as in communicating to an audience.
Concert Lecture of the Sono-Choreographic Collective at the Grand Opening of the new Academy for Theatre and Digitality, Dortmund – 2nd of September 2023 & at the Impuls Festival für Neue Musik, Leipzig – 13th of October
In Instrumentalities the Sono-Choreographic Collective unpacks aspects of their artistic-scientific research Common Grounds. Scaling 20 years of hourly environmental data into 60 minutes, this participatory concert-lecture presents some of the methods developed for listening, sensing and understanding climate change from an embodied perspective. These include various sonic and somatic techniques that connect the planetary scale with individual and collective sensory scales of participants. The concert-lecture unfolds around a table that is a hybrid surface for discourse, policy, strategy, negotiation, communication and communion.
Concert Lecture of the Sono-Choreographic Collective at “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” / Jahreskonferenz der Dramaturgischen Gesellschaft in Mühlheim Ruhr.
Titled Instrumentalities for Common Grounds, this participatory lecture-concert unpacks aspects of our work in Common Grounds, and presents some of the methods we developed for listening, sensing and understanding climate change from embedded perspectives. These include various scaling techniques that come together to establish what we call mental-mergings: Techniques that give access to sensing planetary phenomena and thus connecting the macro-global perspective with the microcosms of individual, somatic selves.
I am part of the just started Terra Ignota field trip 1.st of March – 13 th of March and forum 14.st of March – 17 th of March 23 at Tierra de Fuego Chile.
Here you find more information and can follow our journey.
Terra Ignota Forum (TIF) is a field laboratory that seeks to develop and implement a contemporary archive on the so-called “intercultural contact zone” (Selk’nam, Kawesqar and Yagán) located in Yendegaia National Park (YNP). The project is deployed in two stages, the first is the continuation of our interdisciplinary research in the territory and field forum (2023). The process and research will be documented and published in different media, individual artistic projects developed further and presented in the second stage to the public beginning of 2024 at the Universidad de Magallanes, Punta Arenas.
Julia Boike, Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari and me wrote an invited arcticle: Perspectives on Listening to Permafrost to contribute to the blog of the Cryospheric Sciences Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU):
The development of the sound and light installation of our Common Grounds collaborative artistic and scientific research project that sonifies environmental data from the permafrost research will be presented and discussed at the AWI campus in Potsdam

parallel to the opening of Height, Pace, Consistency Helene Appel, Pauline M´barek and I launched the publication Open Skies. It is the documentation of our seminar collaboration at the HBK Braunschweig that started during the summer semester 2020. Throughout the digital maze of the pandemic we worked on a cross-media, space- & site-specfic exhibition project. As a result in June 2021 the students worked together for 11 days on the area of the H_LLE Braunschweig closing with a public exhibition weekend on the 26th and 27th of June.

New work Whistleblowers in public space with Sono-Choreographic Collective at Dystopia Sound Art Festival Berlin: Oct. 16 – Nov. 01 2020 –
Sadly the public space installation was canceled by Deutsche Bahn, now at Alte Münze Foyer a solo electro-acoustic string-drum horn is chanting indoors in a windless-single channel version of the work.
With our Sono-Choreographic Collective Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari, Kiran Kumar and myself contributed with “Playing Grounds: a polymodal essay” to the latest issue of the herri magazine.

Based on investigations on how to orientate oneself at the borderline of noise and signal (e.g. the installation “Navigating Noise“) and on the just released interdisciplinary publication “Navigating Noise” (ed. Nathanja van Dijk, Kerstin Ergenzinger, Sebastian Schwesinger and Christian Kassung), the Salon “Acts of Orientation” questions as well the notion of rhythm as a middle force between regularity and chaos as the role of gaps and lines in orientation processes such as sensing, recording, reconstructing, translating and interpreting.
Book Launch: Monday January 29th 19h
Presentation of the interdiciplinary publication “Navigating Noise” at Buchhandlung Walther König Berlin Continue reading “The book: Navigating Noise”
