Here are highlights of projects and research conducted at the chair of Acoustic Ecologies and Sound Studies.
Irrational Numbers: Sonification and Intervention
ALOGOS is an ongoing research and compositional project on the sonification of irrational numbers and the politics of the unmeasurable. The Greek alogos names a double meaning: "without ratio" and "unspeakable." When the Pythagoreans discovered that the diagonal of the unit square cannot be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers, incommensurability entered the world as both a mathematical fact and a political problem — a wound in the order of measure that, according to legend, cost Hippasus his life and was bound under a vow of secrecy.
Sonic Tuesdays
Sonic Tuesdays is a weekly programme of listening, encounter, and collective inquiry hosted at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Each session takes a different form: extended listening evenings, artist conversations, open workshops, radio art, and collaborative performances. The series runs across the summer semester, drawing together guests, students, and practitioners from music, sound art, and acoustic research. Free and open to all.
