Walking Piece SWS23
Hill

From the actions of the work Colina, a proposition of walking towards the stillness, I discuss the relations of listening and the event insurgency as a starting point for creation and aesthetic fruition. I reflect with the gesture of sitting slides between displacement and stop, lingering, and between displacement and landscape, in becoming hill.

Stopping To Notice

“A woman has just suddenly touched her chest, as if remembering that she’s here.” Expanding on her popular Twitter account, Miranda Keeling invites you to join her as she stops to notice the small, magical moments of everyday life, in binaural sound.

All That You Hear is All That Is Heard

all that you hear is all that is heard is an experimental storytelling project using the motion sensors within our smartphones. The idea for this stemmed from Curator and Creative Producer Rachael Paintin. Site specific to the Nicholas Building (Melbourne, Australia), audio conversations with past and present tenants are woven into a composition that combines original score by Biddy Connor and The Letter String Quartet.

Where Walking Leads

3 Apr, 2024

Like most people on this planet, I have been walking my entire life. Having grown up in Los Angeles, I’ve also logged plenty of time in automobiles, but I’ve been in fortunate to live most of my adult life in a famously “walkable city,” Philadelphia, where my feet have become my preferred routine means of getting around, for both utility and pleasure.
