Sound Installation

Sound provides unique ways to think with and through transitions. DJs transition between records, radio transmits through space, and transduction pushes back against assumptions about presence and immersion. Inspired by the multiple possibilities of transitions in and through sound (as remixing, transmission, transduction), this sound installation includes soundworks (radio documentaries, field recordings, sound ethnographies, mixtapes, etc.) related to the conference theme.

The exhibit will culminate with an off-site DJ performance in Toronto, amplifying the installation.
