mL Talks: Jacek Smolicki

A note from Jacek Smolicki on his talk, Soundwalking through Time, Space, and Technologies:

Departing from several of my recently developed artistic research projects, I will discuss how creative and critical approaches to recording technologies, particularly those concerned with sound, can help rewire some of our preconceptions about the surrounding environment, its human and more-than-human actors, histories and temporalities. I will talk and speculate about how sonic thinking and doing can aid us in connecting (with) those seemingly disparate and distant realms.
