SOUND/IMAGE Research Centre

Fantastic to celebrate our new research labs supported by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) investment via the World Class Labs Programme.

Sonic Scope Call 6 is inspired by the recent publication Art of Sound by our researchers Emma Margetson and Andrew Knight-Hill. Sonic Scope Journal | CALL & RESPONSE ISSUE 6 | | DEADLINE: June 24th 2024 | With a prompt from Sound/Image Research Centre members Andrew Knight-Hill and Emma Margetson - artists and researchers are invited to submit creative responses in a variety of formats to the call for submissions: https://lnkd.in/eeCYBFds "In response to our Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded research, we seek responses that actively embrace creativity as complex, messy, rich, convoluted and diverse. Rather than seeing this complexity as a negative, we ask how we might recognise this as the core affordance and strength of its power. How might such an approach unlock new ways of celebrating practice to understand our worlds?" #practice #practiceresearch #creativity #art #sound

International Travel Bursaries for SOUND/IMAGE 2024 for Under Represented Regions. https://lnkd.in/eSvtVn3a With support from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), we are delighted to announce a special fund for bursaries to subsidise travel and accommodation for artists and scholars from historically underrepresented regions to attend and participate in this year’s SOUND/IMAGE festival. https://lnkd.in/eRCvrEE5 The goal of this fund is to amplify and champion new voices and address previous historical underrepresentation in the SOUND/IMAGE festival, which takes place in November 2024 in Greenwich, London, UK. We are specifically interested in receiving proposals from artists and scholars based in Africa, Asia (particularly the South Asian Indian subcontinent; Central and West Asia and the Middle East; and Southeast Asia) as well as from across the Caribbean and Central and Southern America. We are committed to enabling as many participants to attend as possible within the scope of our budget, and we reserve the right to offer both partial and full bursaries. We are grateful to the AHRC for making this bursary scheme possible, via follow-on investment in Creative Research Capabilities, linked with our Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies. https://lnkd.in/en99cW_4

The call for our 2024 SOUND/IMAGE Festival is now open for submissions, on the theme of "Mediated Spaces and Immersion" Deadline for submissions is Friday 21 June 2024 at 23:59 UTC+1. SOUND/IMAGE 2024 will collaboratively question how our chosen sound and image media fabricate, articulate and question our spaces of experience. And how these spaces we enact, provide affective and engaging experiences to immerse audiences.  Spatial multichannel audio situates the listener in immersive soundfields, while films – projected either inside or out of frames – transmit forms and textures onto new surfaces. LIDAR scans and photogrammetry paint 3D models of architectures which enable us to explore unbounded, traversing impossible trajectories. Installations create durational happenings which invite audiences to engage around and through them, while performances render spaces of experience through the articulation of liveness and the fleeting moment. Through a rich complementary programme of talks, screenings, loudspeaker orchestra concerts and workshops – SOUND/IMAGE 2024 will bring together diverse perspectives to stimulate discussion, debate and reveal new insights upon questions of mediated space and immersion across and between fields, including music, film, architecture, performance and digital arts. We invite composers, filmmakers, artists, performers, architects to share their practice and research amongst a global community of artists and creatives working at the intersection of media. We seek submissions that explore the diverse areas of sound / image practice and actively encourage applications from candidates of all ethnicities, backgrounds and genders, who are traditionally underrepresented.
