Soundstorming is the invention of artist Davide Tidoni, who recently won an honorable mention at Ars Electronica for his work with acoustic interventions in the city of Linz. Similar to the process of brainstorming, the pretext of Soundstorming is to provide a freewheeling context in which we may explore different listening modes and develop site specific installations and interventions.
Soundstormers stop the walk and intervene whenever they find an interesting site. Urban acoustics, public constructions, and sound producing / recording devices constitute each soundstormer’s basic toolkit.
During the soundstorming walk we will pay particular attention to the body as a whole sensory being and as a political subject. We will conduct situated listening activities for developing individual sensitivity to the nature of the city, as well as develop approaches for investigating specific social-cultural contexts and notions of public and private.
At the end of the 2 days, participants will critically present his/her documentation and the experiential data gathered during the exploration with the group.
