This SIG group is a sound research group that considers political, social, experiential, ecological, feminist, philosophical, etc. possibilities via sound. In other words, a group that in different ways and from different sonic orientations questions and re-visions realities, everyday hierarchies and conventions as well as political, academic, and institutional realities.
The aim of the group is not, or not only, to produce practice-based and discursive answers to the urgent questions of these contemporary problems, but rather to have a more sustainable investigation of the condition that produces their reality and its normalisation, i.e its acceptance as inevitable and unchangeable.
To this end we propose to engage a Sonic Thinking: the imaginary of sound’s connecting logic, as well as its embodied materialisation, which meets the complexly interwoven logic of the current crises, to understand this condition as a pre-condition, and to develop, collectively, methodologies of how to engage this condition: to produce conceptual and actual transformations and approaches that could be shared beyond the arts and humanities with (social) scientists working on their causalities and consequences.
This SIG group acts as a vital resource dealing with current and long-standing problems of precarity, economic asymmetries, social exclusion, oppression, discrimination, climate change, etc. It is meant to model, narrate, design, inhabit, and govern a plurality of alternative ideas through sound, sound art, music, discussions, poster making, workshops, etc.
It aims for a Sonic Futurism.
