| Inhabitants Online exhibition as part of (Un) Common Worlds III Oulu Finland curated by Ang Bartram A Silence of Storks by Steve Baker and Catherine Clover A Silence of Storks is drawn from our larger collaborative project Storks and Cities. Steve works primarily with photography, and Cath works primarily with sound and text. Collaboratively we try to give concise but not literal expression to our experience of how humans and storks simultaneously inhabit the sonic and visual cityscapes in which we have observed them. A silence of storks is one of the collective terms for a group of storks. |

Launch Thurs 29 Nov Sunken Courtyard RMIT City Campus Melbourne Australia Map (8mb) What does the role of sound and audio play in the greening of urban spaces and how does this impact the well-being of people, animals and plants in the urban environment? This project explores how sound and urban greening can work together to help in the design, development and planning of our future cities. Situated at RMIT University, City Campus in the Sunken Garden (Alumni Courtyard), artists, landscape designers, sound designers, interactive systems designers and scientists have come together to create a biodiverse green space. The site will be filled with a variety of plants indigenous to Melbourne, using experimental plots designed in collaboration with landscape architecture students. The sound works will be heard from three speakers within the installation structure. Each speaker plays a particular set of works over the course of 100 minutes. |

| Listening across Disciplines London College of Communication, University of the Arts London 23 and 24 June 2016 Invited participant - Listening Across Disciplines, a network project that brings together artists, musicians, scientists, technologists and social scientists as well as scholars and practitioners from the humanities, to work across disciplinary boundaries on the recently emerging focus on sound and listening. The aim of this network is to initiate an exchange that draws together auditory research initiatives and methods from across the disciplines to advance their status and use, and to generate a space where culture and science can collide to generate new knowledge and create innovative modes of knowledge production that bring value within and between the disciplines, and ultimately to a general public. The project has been awarded an AHRC grant and is run by Dr. Salomé Voegelin (PI), Reader in Sound Arts at the London College of Communication, UAL, and Co-I Dr. Anna Barney, Professor in Biomedical Acoustic Engineering at Southampton University. |

| MusicAcoustic 2005:Mix China Electronic Music Centre, Beijing, China. The transforming soundscape of Beijing offers a heavy 'Mix' of old and modern voices; where the old hutong and modern skyscrapers Mix amidst a hurried development frenzy. The Conference invites research and concerts inquiring along a broad vector that traverses the aesthetics of Organized Sound, Electro-Acoustics (with Chinese and Western Instruments), Microsound, Coding Experimentation and Phonography. With modern China as a backdrop, a Mix of the traditional and new in computer/electronic/laptop music is an appropriate thematic, where an old/young city/country is experimenting with its own emerging unique voice on the global music scene.

| Pathiharn Electron Media FestivalChiang Mai/Bangkok, Thailand and Singapore 2004. Thailand and its neighbors in the Southeast Asian region share some common traditional threads and face similar challenges regarding the impact of Informations Communication Technology (ICT) and new media on contemporary culture and society at large. This new media art festival will primarily, but not exclusively, focus on the Southeast Asian region. Thailand is well positioned on the political, economic, and technological front to act as a hub for inter-regional and international dialogue. Historically, the northern Chiang Mai region was the rich intersection of various regional cultures. Today, the city of Chiang Mai is the main focus of governmental, commercial and academic ICT development. This development seeks to establish Chiang Mai as not only the “Rose” but the “IT Capital of the North.” Chiang Mai's calm but evolving cultural climate makes it an ideal place for this dynamic new media art festival. | |||||||||
