Holger Zschenderlein and Chris Rose (School of Architecture & Design) were invited to publish their paper The Breathing City Project: Drawing Interpretations from the Atmosphere for the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Systems Research in the Arts and Humanities: “On Interaction / Interactivity in Music, Design, Visual and Performing Arts” (24-30 July).
15 Aug 2013
Zschenderlein presented key aspects of their current collaborative research at the 20th international conference, hosted by the International Institute for Advanced Studies in Systems Research and Cybernetics (Canada) in Baden Baden, Germany in July 2008.. The paper documents emerging key aspects and developments of the collaborative process of The Breathing City project, which addresses modes of representation i.e. evocative soundscape, visual imagery and scientific models to communicate shared insights into the challenges of understanding localised phenomena within a global context.
Holger Zschenderlein subsequently made a presentation of key aspects of their current collaborative research within the Breathing City project at the international conference in Baden Baden, Germany in July 2008, hosted by The International Institute For Advanced Studies In Systems Research and Cybernetics (IIAS – InterSymp), Canada.
Both publication and subsequent conference presentation received support and were jointly funded by the School of Arts & Communication, School of Architecture & Design and Centre for Research and Development of the Faculty of Arts & Architecture and the Research Support Fund of the University of Brighton.
A trans-disciplinary presentation of The Breathing City was made by Zschenderlein and Rose at the multi-venue Sonic Arts Festival held this year in Brighton. The installation was based upon the collaborative work with Dr. Janet Barlow of Reading University Department of Meteorology, exploring relationships between information, experience and narrative within the atmosphere, and specifically the urban environment. More than 600 visitors visited the exhibition of their audio-visual surround sound installation at the Digital Lounge at Lighthouse in Brighton during their two-day exhibition in July 2008.
Holger Zschenderlein was invited during the Soundwaves Festival in June 2008 to take part as panellist for the Forum Hear Here! The experience of listening in every day life – are we still listening? The forum consisted of leading musicians, cultural thinkers, researchers centred on the conscious experience and subconscious cognitive aspects of hearing and listening to music, environmental sounds and noise. The discussion forum, presented by the Royal Philharmonic Society and Classic FM and supported by the Hamlyn Foundation in association with Brunel University together with the University of Brighton, took place in the Sallis Benney Theatre and was subsequently broadcasted on Classic FM in July 2008.
