"A sonic portrait of a place, a site specific transmission art performance and locative media apps for mobile phones are each points of reference in this panel discussion. How does location inform artistic content? How does the way in which an artwork is transmitted determine the experience?"

Soundscape, sonification, and sound activism
"In this article, the author will argue that the act of listening through public soundwalks and other formal and informal exercises builds environmental and social awareness and promotes changes in social and cultural practices. By examining the act of listening as an alternative pathway and comparing the research, writings, and creative work of leaders of the acoustic ecology movement (i.e., R. Murray Schafer, Hildegard Westerkamp, and Bernie Krause), the author hopes to shed light on these potentials."

Wayfinding without Visual Cues: Evaluation of an Interactive Audio Map System
"We present the evaluation of an interactive audio map system that enables blind and partially sighted users to explore and navigate city maps from the safety of their home using simulated 3D audio and synthetic speech alone. We begin with a review of existing literature in the areas of spatial knowledge and wayfinding, auditory displays and auditory map systems, before describing how this research builds on and differentiates itself from this body of work. One key requirement was the ability to quantify the effectiveness of the audio map, so we describe the design and implementation of the evaluation, which took the form of a game downloaded by participants to their own computers. The results demonstrate that participants (blind, partially sighted and sighted) have acquired detailed spatial knowledge and also that the availability of positional audio cues significantly improves wayfinding performance." http://iwc.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/08/20/iwc.iwt042.short
Sublime Frequencies: The Construction of Sublime Listening Experiences in the Sonification of Scientific Data
"In the past two decades, the sonification of scientific data – an auditory equivalent of data visualization in which data are turned into sounds – has become increasingly widespread, particularly as an artistic practice and as a means of popularizing science. Sonification is thus part of the recent trend, discussed in public understanding of science literature, towards increased emphasis on ‘interactivity’ and ‘crossovers’ between science and art as a response to the perceived crisis in the relationship between the sciences and their publics. However, sonification can also be understood as the latest iteration in a long tradition of theorizing the relations between nature, science and human experience. This article analyses the recent public fascination with sonification and argues that sonification grips public imaginations through the promise of sublime experiences. I show how the ‘auditory sublime’ is constructed through varying combinations of technological, musical and rhetorical strategies. Rather than maintain a singular conception of the auditory sublime, practitioners draw on many scientific and artistic repertoires. However, sound is often situated as an immersive and emotional medium in contrast to the supposedly more detached sense of vision. The public sonification discourse leaves intact this dichotomy, reinforcing the idea that sound has no place in specialist science."

Verortung Sound Studies:
Sound Studies sind nicht Klangwissenschaft
"Im Falle der Sound Studies ist dies besonders auffällig, da sowohl die ersten ehemals prononcierten Arbeiten als auch die gegenwärtig avanciertesten Entwicklungen stets aus einer personellen, institutionellen und methodischen Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft
hervorgegangen sind. Wenn ich den Schnitt des Beginns dieser Disziplin mit den historische Avantgarden des 20. Jahrhunderts und den Studien von Walter Ruttmann, Pierre Schaeffer, mit John Cage und Alvin Lucier ansetze oder mit den Arbeiten von Raymond Murray Schafer oder Barry Truax: in all diesen Fällen verflochten sich künstlerisch-gestalterische Empirie mit wissenschaftlich-konzeptuellem Begriff der Klänge – selbst in der Forschung des Physiologen und Pianisten Hermann von Helmholtz im 19. Jahrhundert. Vor allem die Untersuchungen von Schafer und Truax haben bis heute ihren Wert in den Sound Studies erhalten; ihre Schriften werden weiterhin als Grundlagen- und Einführungswerke genutzt und ihre Studien werden unmittelbar weiterentwickelt, da sie den Stadtraum, die Landschaft auf eine andere und neue Weise durchhorchten: sie betonten die Sinnesvielfalt und Körperempfindung, zeichneten sie auf und führten gestaltend die Hörlandschaft der Welt ihren Zeitgenossen und uns vor Ohren. Den künstlichen Schnitt des Anfangs möchte ich darum bei diesen Forschungen ansetzen." http://www.soundstudieslab.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Holger_Schulze_-_Sound_Studies_stw_Stephan_Moebius_Neue_Kulturforschungen_2011_.pdf

SOUNDMAPPING: Critiques And Reflections On This New Publicly Engaging Medium
Jacqueline Waldock
"Soundmaps have captured the imagination of acoustic communities, libraries and radio stations alike. These interactive maps have placed soundscape collections and research in a more public and interactive space than ever before. However, does this new form reflect some of the polarizations of past sound projects or are there new fractures to be considered, such as gender, economy and the domestic/public divide? This paper will reflect upon the challenges and hierarchies that have developed alongside this new medium and will begin to critique and question this new form of sound engagement."
