Sara Bouchard: Aural Ecologies at Open Source Gallery
Sound artist Sara Bouchard will present a performance and discussion based on her current research: building live-coded, immersive soundscapes in collaboration with the local environment. In an age in which the future is shaped by both machine intelligence and ecological devastation, how can listening to the landscape with the aid of technology offer us a closer understanding of natural and constructed ecosystems? How can the transmission of song (involving human voice or other) revive our sense of community in a psychogeographic space? What can we learn about the future by uncovering the hidden sounds of urban nature in the present?
