Distributed Networks of Listening and Sounding: From Tuning Presents to Turing Presence
Drawing on recent projects, in this talk I will discuss my approach to creating performative contexts using computational media that engender intersubjectivity and distributed creativity. Building upon my life as an electroacoustic composer/improviser, this work emphasizes collective emergence and immersion of the non-visual senses as a means to amplify (rather than mute or mask) a sense of presence-in-the-world for individual and group. Machine agents, interactive media and telematic connections are integrated as material conditions and inter-actors that serve to enhance, complexify and challenge this larger network of activity.

Deep Listening Session
Please note that these sessions intersect with the DisPerSion Lab Research Project “Deep Listening in the Expanded Field”. Participants will be able (but certainly not required) to have their bio-physical signals tracked during the session as part of this research.
In order to manage things, please sign up for a free eventbrite ticket.
Hope to see you there!
About:
Deep Listening is a practice that is intended to heighten and expand consciousness of sound in as many dimensions of awareness and attentional dynamics as humanly possible. It includes bodywork, listening meditations, movement and sound-making exercises. It cultivates a full-bodied and heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and promotes experimentation, improvisation, collaboration and play. Sessions facilitated by certified Deep Listening Instructor Doug Van Nort. All welcome, no experience necessary.
