Highlights
Entangled in the Mesh
Entangled in the Mesh is a geolocative soundwalk at Campus Ås, Norway, featuring deadwood sculptures and multiple layered soundscapes accessible via the Locosonic app or loaned devices. The project explores interconnected ecological networks and non-human perspectives through sonic landscapes, durational sculptures, and multisensory experiences reflecting geological time scales and speculative futures.
Cracks on the Soundwalk
The soundwalk blog features evolving soundscape compositions made from recordings collected during the International Conference on Deleuze and Artistic Research (DARE) 2015 in Ghent. These audio walks, contributed to by participants, are designed for listening while walking through the city and conference venues.

Through this looking, I move forward with time, sometimes attempt to hold it still, and at other times, let it take me elsewhere, to a time that has passed or is perhaps waiting for me. Some windows and their views remind me of other windows in other places, including windows that live in books and films, all real because of the feelings they evoke and the meanings they reveal or don’t. I write this piece as live in a new city, with curiosity and hesitation, looking at it through its windows and through the other windows these open up.… Continue reading Windows to the city →
