Sensing the Place at Motorkade 9
Sensing the Place – an experiential environment that will be open to the public during Sonic Acts Academy – was unfurled by students of ArtScience Interfaculty (KABK) on Tuesday 20 February for a trial run. The environment is the outcome of a student research project at Damen Shiprepair, in which artist Cocky Eek, along with several tutors, led a collaboration between KABK and Sonic Acts Academy.
Participating students Ana Oosting, Anni Nöps, Catherine Ostraya, Vakki Park, Jesús Canuto Iglesias, Mischa Lind, Sophia Bulgakova, Soeria van den Wijngaard, Vera Khvaleva and Youngji Cho were invited to think about different possibilities of sensing a place and to create maps based on their cognition of smell, touch, vibrations, light, and sound. As an outcome of their research, they devised an experimental and experiential environment.
Sensing the Place is open during the Academy at Motorkade 9 on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 February (12:30–20:00) and Sunday 25 February (13:00–19:00). Visitors will be able to embark on a sensorial trip based on uncommon approaches to navigating through space.
