Sonic Spaces
Stage: URBAN STAGE
Format: Sound Experience
Track: Multi-Sensory Experiences
Listen carefully! Even the quietest space has its own specific sound, a sort of acoustic aura – and every apparently unimportant sound needs its space in which it can make itself heard. The sound thereby inevitably changes a space, just as the space itself makes a sound what it is. From this close relationship, a wide range of issues arises with regard to hidden potential: What ‘sonic spaces’ do we want to inhabit in the future? How should the spaces sound in which we learn, sleep, work or experience an exhibition? Florian Käppler raises your awareness of sound for scenography, design and media. During this process, he presents exciting sound phenomena based on his own work, such as the ‘Songlines’ exhibition of the artist Björk at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the sound of future mobility.
