This article discusses a prototype that explores the simultaneous manipulation of three-dimensional digital forms and sound. Our multi-media study examines the aesthetic affordances of tight parameter couplings between digital three-dimensional objects and sound objects based on notions of process and user-machine interaction. It investigates how effective cohesion between visual, spatial and soni
This practice-based research employs sculptural and sound practices, and their mediation through representation, notation, technologies and performance, to develop an innovative compositional process named co-composition, in which physical and sonic material can be concurrently produced, rearranged and transformed.\nAt the core of this thesis is a multi-layered mode of thinking, informed by an und
Abstract in Spanish:La picantey redlexiva novela Hot Milk(Leche caliente, 2016) de Deborah Levy sigue a una joven, Sofı́a, que viaja de Inglaterra a Almerı́a (España) en busca de una cura para las numerosas dolencias de su madre, Rosa. Sofı́a comienza a nadar en el Mediterráneo, donde lepicanrepetidamente medusas que, según descubre, han aumentado de forma abundantedebido a la sobrepesca (3). EDeborah Levy’s salty, ruminative novel Hot Milk (2016) follows a young woman, Sofia, as she travels from England to Almería, Spain in search of a cure for her mother Rose’s many ailments. Sofia begins swimming in the Mediterranean, where she is repeatedly stung by medusas who have, she learns, grown abundant from overfishing (3). These medusas sting her “into desire” (72) and into a queer sexual a
This paper proposes a method for making generative art in the form of a system based on an interdisciplinary approach combining sculpture and sound. I will explore the possibility of using data from the spectral analysis of sounds as instructions for making sculpture. Inspired by Sol LeWitt's principles and ideas for the creation of generative art as system and Francis Halsall’s definition of a ‘s
Local knowledge plays a central yet uneven role in climate change policymaking. Drawing on the concept of climate eco-governmentality, this paper examines how interactions among actors, knowledge, and scales shape the governance of mangrove ecosystems in the Colombian Caribbean. Building on critical climate change and political ecology scholarship, I analyse how knowledge produced by local communi
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Surgical outcomes in patients with flexible adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) have not been evaluated in large prospective register studies. Calcaneal osteotomy and hindfoot arthrodesis are commonly used. We aimed to compare the results of these 2 procedures using preoperative and 1-year postoperative patient-reported outcome data from the Swedish Quality Register fo
How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ betweengroups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decom-position and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia:What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi’s contribu-tion to carbon sequestration?In this study, w
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related disease of the joint in which the tissues degenerate and the function of the joint is disrupted. Key load-bearing tissues that break down as part of knee osteoarthritis include the articular cartilage and the meniscus. These tissues are complex cartilaginous tissues, consisting of around 70% water confined in a network of collagens and proteoglycans. During OA
Remanufacturing is a key strategy in the circular economy, enabling substantial product value retention. However, inconsistent definitions across standards and legislation hinder global trade, core recovery and market acceptance. This study examines how remanufacturing is defined in laws and standards, and how these definitions impact industry practices. Through a literature review of key existing
Sound is a fundamental element of our relationship to others and to the world. Current environmental, sociopolitical, cultural, and economic dimensions of our society can be captured and studied through sound. This article investigates ways of listening to future versions of our cities. Sound’s role is explored in the transformation of spaces and communities based on a dialectic between sound art,
This workshop investigates sensory dimensions of trees as a way to build upon tree literacy efforts by researchers affiliated with the Concordia Tree Project on the Loyola Campus. As a laboratory of micro-forests for students and the Montreal community to learn about the wealth of trees on the campus, this forestry project aligns well with the cross-disciplinary project Sonic Kinesthetic Forest (S
This paper investigates the role of sound and listening in establishing newsensory connections with the environment. Climate change is affecting the wayour environment sounds and we need to expand our sense of listening to tunein to those new registers. Through the development of a digital prototype forspeculative sound co-creation, this study explores ways to engage with ourchanging environment b
In this workshop, we explore the question: How can we use our senses toknow trees and foster ecological empathy through interdisciplinary methodsacross landscape design, sound art, and dance/movement? We inviteparticipants to develop sensory responses to real or imaginary trees asimpetus for sonic kinesthetic expression. The workshop will encourageinteraction with trees to reveal the aliveness and
Following the successful first Urban Sound Symposium held at Ghent University in 2019, the second edition in 2021 had to face the challenges of the pandemic. The symposium turned this challenge into an opportunity for giving easier access to practitioners and experts from around the globe who are confronted with urban sound in their professional activities. It was organized simultaneously in Ghent
Our project explores sensory-driven research methodologies that fuel a creativeprocess for the design of a forest landscape. We ask the question, how can landscape design research be advanced and enriched through the integration of sonic and kinesthetic methodologies? As a collaboration between a landscape designer, movement analyst and sound artist, we are working with a group of graduate student
The on-going combination of sound practices with practices that operate in visual-spatial dimensions such as works of installation art, audiovisual composition, and sound art has not only created new aesthetic challenges concerning the combination of features and modalities of the different art forms butalso new ways for developing, interacting with, and experiencing artworks. Strongly associated
This presentation discusses material and performative aspects of sound art through the combination of sculptural objects, sounds and a sensing system. Our work ‘Schíma – morphé – íchos’, offers itself up as a sound installation, a sculptural ensemble and a live performance where form, structure, playability and the background system are brought together to identify new ways of composing, making an
