By combining artistic, psychoacoustic, sociological, and technological expertise, the artistic interpretation of auditory illusions can contribute to both the artistic and scientific understanding of sound installation art. Within the framework of the AUDIO GHOSTS project, guest artists will be invited to engage in individual artistic research, building upon established psychoacoustic models to generate new, tacit knowledge about space-related phenomena in sound installations.
GUEST ARTIST #1
Christine Schörkhuber: ththbrsh – sound installation
Acoustic illusions often occur randomly, ghostly, and unassignable in everyday life, consciously or unconsciously accompanying us throughout our days. Since the advent of electrification, electricity has been associated with supernatural phenomena, and acoustic illusions generated by electrical currents frequently serve as harbingers of delusion or metaphysical events in cinematic narratives.

Antenna in the Mud
Interactive Sonic Sculpture of Four Antennas to be Activated by the Visitors
A series of sound pieces will be running, being played in a loop but not heard until a visitor approaches the antennas. These are then activated by the proximity of the human body and as the four antennas are spread throughout the space. Only with four people it is possible to hear the whole of the four channel pieces..
Produced by a selection of artists and students of the Angewandte:
Alice Bazzichelli, lutzz&bog, Flynn by Malpractice (Chiara Kristler & Marcin Ratajcyk) Martina R. Fröschl, Mel E. Logan, Klemens Kohlweis, Digital Sound & Voice Team. […]

The Evil of Banality (clarinet quartet)
Sound Installation
A string quartet turned inside out, an encircling swarm, a synchronized swimming choreography. Let these three analogies be offered as a prelude to general confusion. A focus in my musical practice is the between-the-tones, or rather the emerging third element between two sounds – not merely, or not only, as a poetic experience, but also as a very concrete and physical sonic phenomenon in space and ear.

Demonstrations
Sound Installation
In scientific contexts, a demonstration refers to a public presentation of a naturally occurring phenomena. A famous representation is Joseph Wright of Derby’s 1768 painting An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump, in which the surrounded dignitaries bear witness to a bird being deprived of air. The authority of a demonstration lies in making public something self-evident and true. […]
