[spectre] New podcast: sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard on listening and phenomenology of perception

[Radio Web MACBA]

*New podcast: sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard on listening*


In 2014, we interviewed Norwegian artist *Jacob Kirkegaard* as part of a
research project entitled ON LISTENING. This podcast takes us back to that
conversation.

Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/jacob-kierkegaard/capsula

With projects on the deserts of Oman, the Chernobyl 'zone of alienation',
Arctic calving glaciers and the tones generated by the human inner ear
itself, mapping out Jacob Kirkegaard's artistic practice is no easy task.
He allows himself to be led by wonder, focusing on hidden or unheard layers
of sound and sonic phenomena in highly charged contexts.

Kirkegaard uses accelerometers – special contact microphones that record
the imperceptible vibrations of materials – to capture hidden resonances.
He later works these sounds into compositions or mixed media installations
that channel an access to an inner world, addressing complex and often
conflicting realities from a neutral standpoint: it is just sound.

A cluster of keywords may suggest an insight into his artistic practice:
resonant frequencies; accelerometer; Fukushima; calving glacier;
metalistening; space; Palestine; neutrality; radiation; John Cage,
hydrophones, cochlear; layering; otoacoustic emissions; Arctic; rooms;
disharmonic; sleep; nuclear; recording.

Kirkegaard is a graduate of the Academy for Media Arts in Cologne and a
member of the sound art collective freq_out. He regularly collaborated with
the late electronics pioneer Else Marie Pade. His first retrospective solo
exhibition was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde, and he
has presented his work at galleries, museums, and concert spaces throughout
the world. His sound works have been released on labels such as TOUCH,
Important Records, VON Archives and Posh Isolation.


*In this podcast, Kierkegaard reflects on the importance of listening and
argues that sound art can create purely sensory spaces that go beyond our
immediate perception, helping us to grasp the unfathomable.*
*Timeline*
02:04 The medium is not often the message
06:48 Framing ressonant frequencies
10:26 Maybe I never went to Chernobyl
17:52 Sound as side effect
20:02 Isfald, 2013
25:33 On neutrality
27:05 How to record a place
31:51 Doubt, knowledge, wonder
37:45 Ottoacoustic Emissions
47:30 Earprint: Spontaneous Ottoacoustic Emissions
53:43 If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it
make a sound?

*OPEN FIELDS Conference and Exhibition*
in the framework of *RIXC Art Science Festival 2016*
Riga, September 29 – October 1, 2016
Venue: National Library of Latvia

Open Fields is the title of this year's international conference taking 
place in the framework of the annual RIXC Art Science festival in Riga. 
It brings together international scholars and artists, working at the 
intersection of arts, humanities and science. Open Fields will focus on 
artistic research, the changing role of arts, its transformative 
potential, and relation to the sciences. This call for participation 
invites contributions and conference paper proposals by scholars, 
artists, artists-researchers, art and media theorists, data designers 
and critical engineers, as well as doctoral students, and scientists 
from different Fields – biology, ecology, environment, digital 
technologies, renewable energy, etc., who are engaged in experiencing 
the transformative potential of arts.


For the exhibition and conference, we are looking for research that is 
located in the contested territory between academic knowledge production 
and independent creative practices. Open Fields will be investigating 
the use of data visualizations and other mappings of the contemporary. 
It will look into areas such as open commons, the future of social 
interaction, data representation and visualisation, critical design, 
sustainable infrastructures, eco-aesthetics, techno-ecologies, 
bio-hacking and other techniques of a transformative potential. No Field 
is excluded, yet there should always be a connection with art; it is 
highly likely that art works and conference papers will touch on several 
Fields, not one. It is such an enhanced understanding of 
transdisciplinarity that drives this undertaking.


Research Questions: How art and other creative practices can 
meaningfully contribute to the environmental, technological and 
scientific challenges of our time? What kind of new knowledge can be 
created through artistic practice that collaborates with science, 
technology and other disciplines? And how to deal with contemporary 
aesthetics, which has undergone dramatic changes during the past decades 
and keeps changing again as influenced by current post-media situation, 
data visualization and other contemporary conditions?


The Conference also will feature “Playing Fields” session on 
contemporary taxonomy, maintaining a connection between the exhibition 
and the conference. It also will include “Open Fields – Book Review” 
(PechaKucha) session, providing an opportunity for the speakers to 
present their new books for other participants and the audience.


* Conference keynote speakers:

Christiane PAUL / New School / Whitney Museum / New York
Jussi PARIKKA / Winchester School of Art / University of Southampton / UK
Monica BELLO / art@CERN
and others - tbc.

* Exhibition: The Open Fields conference will be complemented by the 
exhibition taking place in the new Exhibition Hall of National Library 
of Latvia. Partly curated, partly peer-reviewed, the Exhibition will 
represent works by artists, artists-researchers and data designers, who 
are challenging the notion of art and contemporary aesthetics by moving 
across, bringing together and converging different knowledge, various 
media and diverse Fields, as well as using scientific, cultural and 
social data as new artistic medium, and interpreting them in a new and 
meaningful ways.

The Exhibition will be open from September 29 - November 6, 2016.

* Proceeding: The papers will be published in conference proceeding, 
which will come out in the Acoustic Space, peer-reviewed journal & book 
series. The call for full paper submissions will be announced during the 
conference.
