Exhibition View: Sonic Sensibility

Critical Engagement in Sound – Part of Angewandte Festival, June 2022

About social dimension of sound and practices of listening

Sound is never limited to a single place but penetrates bodies and space. An acoustic event always has a social dimension. Sound can be translated, communicated and collectively evaluated.

For Angewandte Festival 2022 AIL explored Sound from different point of views and presented a program of formats, this exhibition was part of it.
