about hearing places
hearing places is an online umbrella for creative projects which unite sound and place. Its published outcomes include recordings, concerts, installations, performances, exhibitions, cultural projects, books, videos, lectures, events, festivals and reviews.
hearing places is the experience of being fully alive in a place with all the senses but particularly the ear. Our bodies situate us physically in space and our radar GPS is constantly active. But the hearing places website is more than this. This site is a place for sound art which engages with place in all its forms: geographic, environmental, enigmatic, telematic, historiographic, electronic, imaginary, psychological, empty, indoor, outdoor, global, micro, cultural, forgotten, endangered.
hearing places was founded by Australian sound artists Dr. Ros Bandt and Dr. Leah Barclay in 2012. It now connects artists and researchers across Australia and beyond. The venture draws its inspiration from Bandt and Barclay's previous work in environmental sound art, particularly Bandt’s seminal text of the same name.
