The list includes: Donia Jourabchi, Edyta Jarząb, Krzysztof Marciniak, Cafe Kryzys/Syrena Squat, Rod Garden, Warszawska Federacja Anarchistyczna.

I’ve recently published on line 3 new videos. They all relate to my research on listening as intervention and the activation of the acoustic space. +++ IN THE BLINK OF A EAR The video sees me triggering the acoustic response of an empty building by hitting the wall with a stick. To emphasize the hit, I adopted the following visual association: silence=black / sound=light. The title of the video is a clear reference to that. +++ UNDER THE BRIDGE Passages under bridges have always been interesting places for acoustic tests. In this video, the resonance of a concrete tunnel is triggered by the explosion of a series of firecrackers. +++ EXAGGERATED FOOTSTEPS This is me walking through different rooms of the same building. I compare the acoustic response of each room by means of a pair of metal plates that I attached to the sole of my shoes.

I present a selection of audio recordings from my FOOTBALL CHANTING PROJECT at the SoundImageCulture Exhibiton at ARGOS, Brussels. The recordings come together with a text publication and a video. Opening: 3th of october at 18:00. From the 4th to the 18 th of October. Location: ARGOS / Werfstraat 13 rue du Chantier / 1000 Brussels. More Info: www.argosarts.org /// www.soundimageculture.org.

Forget the Theater! Go To The Stadium is one of the audio pieces that I’m going to present at the PIATTAFORMA DELLA DANZA BALINESE, Santarcangelo Festival 2015. My presentation is centered around the theme of the PARTICIPANT SPECTATOR. Football supporters are one of the last example of active (counter) audience that still exists and performs in our western civilized world. Listen To Forget the Theater! on soundcloud.
