-1 Encounters Through Sounds: In and out of the Loop

Nieuwe Instituut is het nationale museum voor architectuur, design en digitale cultuur. Nieuwe Instituut houdt zich bezig met de grote ontwikkelingen in de maatschappij, zoals de krapte op de woningmarkt, de energietransitie, de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie, mobiliteit of het gebruik van de publieke ruimte. Ontwerpers, waaronder architecten en digitale makers, kunnen aan die ontwikkelingen een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Nieuwe Instituut toont het werk van ontwerpers, brengt mensen met elkaar in contact, verzamelt, ontwikkelt en deelt kennis.

Nieuwe Instituut

An evening of listening and discussion on how music and other sounds travel around digital networks.

In the first edition of Encounters, Nieuwe Instituut’s <a href="https://nieuweinstituut.nl/en/projects/minus-one" title="https://nieuweinstituut.nl/en/projects/minus-one" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">-1 Digital Lab</a> is teaming up with the research project <a href="https://nieuweinstituut.nl/en/projects/through-sounds" title="https://nieuweinstituut.nl/en/projects/through-sounds" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Through Sounds</a> for an evening of listening and discussion on how music and other sounds travel around digital networks. Researchers Edoardi Biscossi and Luca Bruls, as well as researcher and DJ Lynnée Denise, will share their insights.In an age when we are almost constantly online, digital networks and platforms not only shape what we listen to, but also how and where listening happens. The sounds we listen to and exchange — from voice notes to music streams shaped by algorithms — are all digital traces. These sounds are part of our everyday relationships and vital signals that move between platforms and bodies.Through conversations and sonic performances, this evening reflects on music’s long-standing role as a testing ground for technological change. Guest speakers will discuss how music cultures have adapted to the logic of platforms, how new versions of these have emerged from music subcultures, and how digital listening reshapes our identities. Are we perpetually caught in a loop of ‘future pasts’, or are we just beginning to break free of them?

About Through Sounds Led by Federica Notari, <a href="https://nieuweinstituut.nl/en/projects/through-sounds" title="https://nieuweinstituut.nl/en/projects/through-sounds" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Through Sounds</a> is a research project by the Nieuwe Instituut exploring how and where we listen, whether in physical spaces such as concert halls, raves or city streets, or in virtual spaces such as CDs, MP3s and streaming platforms. As music circulates — from file sharing to streaming — the boundaries between online and offline blur into a new, mixed reality.
