Acoustic Commons - Colloquium Last changed 2023/03/11 17:28 New name B I U S link image code HTML list Upload - + The Acoustic commons Colloquium, originally planned as an independent event, was incorporated into the final exhibition. Various talks, presentations, demos and performances were spread over five days of the exhibition and walk and are included in the programme. (Voir WP 54) This allowed us to address a larger audience augmented by the Biennalé and the student walk. For several presentations an outdoor location was considered to be more appropriate than a closed conference room. To cater for those talks requiring indoor conditions the final day was dedicated to an indoor colloquium hosted by the [“Petit Duc Theater”|https://www.lepetitduc.net] in Aix En Provence - and divided into 3 round-table sessions that centred respectively on three aspects of the activities generated by Acoustic Common : [http://locusonus.org/wiki/var/images/acousticommons/Colloquium/colloquium-1.jpeg|left] ''Stream Time'' 11:00–12:30 – "Streamtime": The session focussed broadly on experiences related to the setting up of Open microphones : politics of open microphones, the meaning of acoustic commons, schizophonic experiences, and future projects ...
