by Zeno van den Broek 11-14 MAY / 10-17.00 / Kunsthal Aarhus Reception and artist talk Friday 12 MAY / 14.00 Panauditum is a new installation based on the role of sound in our modern surveillance society. We are very aware of the value and strength of our appearance and image but less aware of how valuable and personal the sound we produce is. Our voices may be seen as fingerprints, each with its own unique distinguishable character. Panauditum works with the unconsciously distributed sounds made by visitors to the museum, building an evolving composition of speech and electronic artefacts of communication devices. The resonating wall-mounted sculpture interacts with the visitors, raising awareness on the intimacy of sound in relation to the oppressing reality of hidden surveillance. Commissioned by SPOR festival and Gaudeamus Muziekweek In collaboration with Kunsthal Aarhus
by Nico Sauer 11-14 MAY / Various locations in Aarhus C The AcouSuit is the world’s first garment made to sound good. By passively transforming sound waves, the suit reshapes its acoustic environment while being capable of enhancing personal capabilities of musical listening. Further information can be obtained at Nico Sauer’s presentation stand. Here, the audience is invited to do a short psycho-sonic test from which their individualized version of the AcouSuit will be generated and can be previewed as a 3D model. The stand will be located at various locations throughout the festival. More information on www.acousuit.com Concept and design: Nico Sauer / Model: Lovisa Björna
