Merve Ünsal, Urban Acoustic Speculation, 2024. Collaborative sound installation, 10 channel sound. 10 minutes. Image from the zine produced for the exhibition.
Five artists working on a method for perceptual sound mapping and reproduction within the urban context during an intensive residency in March 2024, culminated in Urban Acoustic Speculation, a 10 minute, 10 channel work installed at the residency site at Arthere Istanbul.
Each artist created a sound collage based on their experience on a triangular Kadıköy pedestrian island. Material, representation, and methods were determined by each artist, while the duration and compositional rules were set by the group as a whole. The installation at Arthere was situated somewhere between individual experiences, a collective sounding, and a single installation.
