Project Management: Seismographic Sounds - Vision Of A New World @ CTM & @ Rough Trade w/ The Wire
Traveling Exhibition, Discourse Program and Book Release curated by Thomas Burkhalter, Theresa Beyer & Hannes Liechti
250 musicians, journalists, academics and bloggers from 50 countries like Bolivia, Syria, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ukraine, Egypt, Iraq, Ghana, Finland, Israel, discuss artistic expressions that may not make big headlines yet, but anticipate major changes to come. Produced in oftentimes small studios from Jakarta to La Paz, Cape Town to Helsinki, these works experiment with the new possibilities of the Internet age and illuminate new spaces beyond the confines of commercialism, propaganda, and bigotry. They foresee a changing geography of multi-layered modernities, far beyond old ideas of North versus South, West versus East. Discover this through a collage of articles, interviews, quotations, photographs and lyrics.
The Norient exhibition «Seismographic Sounds – Visions of a New World» shows and discusses contemporary video clips, tracks and Sound Art from around the globe. The exhibition travels next to CTM Berlin - February 2016, and is then hosted by museums and festivals in Germany, Switzerland and the UK. «Seismographic Sounds» is a multi-authored exhibition about new diversity brought forth by digital cultures. It is closely linked to the new Norient book «Seismographic Sounds».
Within the CTM Festival, Norient was invited to curate parts of the DISKURS program: in different formats such as video clip sessions, panel debates and a music films, international Norient guests discuss about ethical boarders in working with local sounds, Postcolonialism and new strategies of researching music today.
