Sound Studies, the new masters program at the UdK–Berlin University of the Arts, focuses on the great variety of spaces and situations we encounter in everyday life that we experience aurally —i.e. via our auditory faculties. This extensive presentation investigates how these auditory experiences, in turn, shape our conceptions of the realities of the world around us.

Visitors are invited to get acquainted with Sound Studies by partaking of, thinking about, listening to and participating in this exhibition. The show goes into how the Sound Studies program came about, and discusses the research and teaching being done in the various departments by presenting work that’s been done by faculty members, alumni and students currently enrolled.

The 2012 Campus Exhibition encompasses the Sound Studies archive, the UdK’s research project focusing on five Berlin neighborhoods, and individual works that deal with how people personally experience spaces and their particular aural qualities. The department’s new Auditory Architecture Research Unit will present its current research project on Berlin’s Ernst-Reuterplatz. One part of the exhibition deals with the acoustic depiction of signals that can’t be registered by human beings, as well as with the audible dimension of spatial perception and a space’s atmosphere.

Plus, there’ll be performances, presentations, talks in the Kepler Salon and afo architekturforum oberösterreich, as well as “listening walks”—for instance, Thinking with Your Ears and Sonic Journalism with sound artist Peter Cusack (UK).
During the festival, students in Sound Studies and in the Generative Art/Computational Art class taught by Alberto de Campo (AT will be working on concrete interventions in public, urban and medial spaces. The UdK will host Campus Laboratory on Linz’s Main Square in conjunction with u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD, Ars Electronica’s future festival of the next generation.
