wip

I have recently installed this Mediawiki, so bear with me - it's a work-in-progress.

One of the reasons I installed this mediawiki on my server, was also to have a space to document my work, write some reflections on experiments and things that excited me, and share it. Here is an index of those spaces around here.

current projects

Some research projects and topics I am working on at the moment:

xpub: sound jams

[master's XPUB research project] sound jams: methods of collective sound-based publication-making for practitioners from various backgrounds is my master's programme research. For my research, I am facilitating various sound jams that I have designed, in order to test the methods in reality and understand what are the important factors when creating a sound-making experience for people from different backgrounds. What brings them together in sound creation and sharing? What elements of the structure and the process are vital for them to find a comfortable and welcoming space for experimentation? What can they take from the sound jams for their artistic and research practice?

By a sound jam, I understand any facilitated process of sound-making and publishing that includes more than one person. Its core principle is inclusivity: it is open to people with or without musical training and offers a structure in which everyone is invited to find a suitable role and space for experimentation. The process grants the makers the opportunity to create a sound publication as a group. This paper explores different sound jams as applied methods that provide such processes and a safe space for makers with various practices to open up to a moment of collective sound-making and sharing.

sound poetics

[drops] is a still-in-progress sound poem of the endless days and nights under the leak in my new room. Coming soon.

precarity

This topic is brought from my frustration of living in such an insecure state. However, there are also exciting and positive sides of constant change. Thus, I am experimenting and researching all the aspects of the current way of living - not knowing anything/much about the future and always on the edge of making the ends meet. During the last Summer, my friend and classmate Supisara and I made some experiments on this topic. See here:
