Sonic Mediation

14 settembre 2023

Cotonificio

Aula P, ore 16

a cura di Nicola Di Croce

organizzato da Centro studi SSH! (Sound Studies Hub)

The International seminar and listening session focuses on the site specificity of sound within urban and rural contexts. It explores the practices of researchers, composers, artists and curators interested in sound compositions based on field recordings as a form of urban and territorial investigation as well as trigger for cultural and spatial transformation. Drawing from current discussions on media studies, cinema, urban and regional studies and sound art, the event will alternate talks with listening sessions where the invited guest will present their sound works or comment on others’ sound pieces.

Guests of the day are Dr. Budhaditya Chattopadhyay, visiting professor at Critical Media Lab Basel, and Dr. Leandro Pisano, Honorary Research Fellow in Anglo-American Literature at University of Urbino “Carlo Bo”. Speakers include Dr. Giulia Vismara, Postdoctoral fellow at Royal Academy and Conservatory Anvers, Dr. Gaia Martino, independent curator, and Dr. Nicola Di Croce, Marie-Curie Fellow at Iuav, members of SSH! Sound Studies Hub (Iuav). The event is curated by Dr. Nicola Di Croce and supported by SSH! Sound Studies Hub.
