HUSH
Elin Maria Johansson, Vibeke Bryld
8 December 2021 - 14 December 2021
The project takes it outset in the previous work, ‘Hush’, a 10 min sensorial VR installation that lets the user become the subject of a Northern myth. During their research time at IAC, the artists will experiment on how to deepen the relationship between the inner experience and the physical space around us. For this purpose, both light, image and interactive techniques are used. The aim is to shift the sensorial experience from the virtual area to the real one, thereby strengthening the sensorial experience of the work.
Sounding the Body Electric / Make Sound Residency
Jenny Gräf Sheppard, MV Carbon

As she collects the recordings, she creates a new version of the piece each time it is performed. The first version of the piece was performed in Oslo, Fredrikstad and Trondheim and consisted of 24 songs from 20 countries. The second version will be composed during the residency and presented at the IAC on November 26 (more info TBA).
Female Prayers
Nevin Tuna Erönde
15 November 2021 - 21 November 2021
'Female Prayers' is based on the idea that one day we will hear female voices calling for prayer in public spaces. A peaceful message, where soundscapes are used as a medium to explore social and cultural issues, religion and gender through the lens of intersectionality. The story is unfolding through spoken letters addressed to the artist Nevin Tuna Erönde’s, late maternal grandmother, who was a practicing Muslim. Erönde re-connects to her by drawing parallels between the Muslim spiritual practices, and her own yoga practice. The performative art installation removes the boundaries between the audience and scene.

Each practice session is unique to the moment and context.
PARADIGM
Kaia Zoe
18 October 2021 - 24 October 2021
The project “PARADIGM – Holobionts, interconnected matter and stories from the periphery” consists of several media – here a spatial installation with a smaller selection of sculpture, sound, light and xerox excerpts from a book in becoming together with a first version of the book. A holobiont is made up of a host organism serving space and sharing nutrients with other life forms, like sub species in the human microbiome. Together with the external microbial and molecular world the entity of our cells and microbes form an ecological continuum – we are nature even when culture has cut out our awareness of that interdependence.

"Blackout" is a sensory performance and sound work for one person at a time. The work takes place in total darkness and uses spatial audio and haptic feedback to create a multi-sensory and evocative environment for a powerfully self-reflective experience. An unseen voice and a physical guide encourage participants on an introspective journey, exploring both virtual spaces and the physical room through 3D sound and touch.
Immersive Days #1: Hush
elin maria johansson, vibeke bryld
8 June 2021 - 13 June 2021
"Hush" invites the viewer to tune in to an ancient world that generations of northerners once knew - when man, animals and nature were connected, and nature was animated.

Creativities transcending boundaries
Anna Houmann, Eva Saether
10 May 2021 - 21 May 2021
This year’s project will focus on ”Uncertainty and Possibility” emerging as both theoretical concepts and fields of empirical investigation, as students and researchers seek new creative, hopeful and speculative modes of understanding and intervening in a world of crisis. Advancing a practical agenda for future making, it will reveal how uncertainty can be engaged as a generative ”technology” for understanding, researching and intervening the world.
BARBARA
Moa Franzén
3 May 2021 - 6 June 2021
The project “Barbara” (the feminine form of the Greek word barbarous, meaning strange, uncivilized, someone who speaks a broken speech) will depart from Moa Franzén’s work with voice as a choreographic material and tool. Through vocal practices Moa will explore different expressions of what is considered human – as well as nonhuman, or “subhuman” – and how we use them or suppress them according to gendered, social, ideological or private grounds. Where and how is the border between the human and the animal crossed? Where, and when, are the in-betweens and how do they sound? For which bodies?
“The Garden”, Sound Bench at Botan
Jonna Hägg
3 May 2021 - 24 June 2021
The Sound Environment Centre has acquired a sound bench for different sound experiments, artistic projects and the communication of research.

Lowlands
Karis Zidore, Emma Cecilia Ajanki, Lea Paulsen
26 April 2021 - 9 May 2021
Tumbling into the space after sadness, ‘Lowlands’ is a soft lament to the voice of self critique. The work shapes a meditative landscape of rippling blue tissue paper that lulls and endures. Images emerge evoking a body falling apart and gathering itself together again, a body at sea and a body on a patchwork of waves. 'Lowlands' is a large-scale solo performance by choreographer Emilia Gasiorek that spans the deep blue depths of our personal emotional landscapes and collective geographical environments.
