Story Is … Crypto Acoustic

The artistry can fool completely says curator Marjorie Van Halteren of Andy Slater’s Crypto Acoustic Auditory Non-Hallucination and its accompanying ephemera studying a type of visual hallucination experienced by people with vision loss. Slater says it’s about access to technology in an uncertain world, in a blind future.

Story Is … Loops of Retreat

Story Is … Pink Noise

The intimacy of whispers highlights the experience of processing languages, especially in frail states of receiving healthcare as an immigrant says curator Merve Ünsal of Banu Çiçek Tülü’s sonic artistry. These spectral whispers add to a sense of navigating multiple boundaries and translations.
