Psycho-Active-Acoustic Experiences

Edinburgh College of Art

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

From psychoacoustics to the work of polymath Alfred North Whitehead this chapter attempts to mobilize ways in which the creative arts might challenge an understanding of sonic experience as proposed by a spatiotemporal logic of scientific measurement. Written in collaboration with sound artist and MIT lecturer Florian Hecker, the co-author’s contribution has relied on her doctoral and ethnographic study of the Silbo Gomero, a whistled and vernacular form of language (Canarian archipelago).
This publication features various contributions from curator and cultural theorist Sarat Maharaj in collaboration with the late biologist and philosopher Francisco Varela (1946-2011), the Raqs Media Collective based in New Delhi, amongst others.
