AUDIO LEAKAGE: Day-Workshop and Colloquium with Budhaditya Chattopadhyay and Audio Leakage Community

AUDIO LEAKAGE 

Day-long Workshop and Colloquium with Budhaditya Chattopadhyay and the Audio Leakage Community

Sound production involves the sonic processes of recording and studio practice in which sounds are often made to flow inside an insular cabled network system. As sound scholar Emily Thompson (2002) suggested, the control of sound becomes embedded in modern acoustical technologies and aural culture. What happens when sounds evade this carefully constructed control mechanism? As Brandon LaBelle (2018) hints at, sounds tend to spill over acoustic control to make social connections. A critical practice with sound therefore needs to consider and conceptualize the phenomenon of audio leakage. In this series of workshops, a group of artists and scholars share their perspectives on the potentially productive provocation titled Audio Leakage from various positions of intervention: political, sociological, artistic, infrastructural, architectural, and subversive, among others. This gathering develops into a corpus of knowledge to be disseminated in artworks, scholarly panels, and publications in the artistic research expositions and journals.
