Listen - Acoustic Ecologies of the Southwest Deserts Re-Imagined
Seed Grant Semester Awarded
Fall
Seed Grant Award Year
2013
The Listen project focuses on critical enquiry and interpretative discourse around questions of
how rich media environments can be used to create experiences of being present in remote,
protected landscapes. These experiences seek to engender a deep embodied and individual
enquiry into the criticality of preservation for sustainable long term global well-being. It will
utilize specialist practices in surround sound recording with the intention to deliver immersive,
embodied sonic experiences remotely. The interdisciplinary research will develop a critical
framework for this discourse, culminating in a symposium on the topic of listening as an
embodied act.
