Listening to Listening: Practices, Behaviours, Perceptions


This project explores emergent practices, trend, behaviours and perceptions in performative, typically collective listening and sounding contexts involving diverse forms of mediation. The performance contexts range from professional performance to public workshop settings, and are further enriched and complexified by conditions such as electroacoustic improvisation, telematic performance, text scores, and machine co-performers. Qualitative methods (grounded theory, thematic analysis, defamiliarization) from interviewing have led to emergent trends related to time/timelessness, real/virtual space, human/machine agency, embodiment and gesture, and instrumentality.
