Sonic Tempel

multi-channel sound installation

Site-specific listening practice in the middle of the sonic environment of the EOW grounds in Weimar. Never before have our ears been flooded with so many sounds in everyday urban life. Thus we live in a time when the environment, the working environment and the personal environment in all areas of life are shaped more than ever by sound in both a positive and negative sense. Common and active listening as a practice of collective attention to the natural environment once give space and time. As a place for deceleration and the observation of acoustic sound ecologies, the "sonic temple" invites us to pause and listen to the symphony of an industrial wasteland in its renaturation environment.
The solar-powered and mobile 8-channel sound installation "Soletti" supports the "sonic temple" with its electro-acoustic reproduction of the surroundings and gives the place an auditory and immersive experience.
