The project Klang Orte Berlin\/Berlin Sonic Places<\/a> – perspectives of acoustic city development<\/strong> was initiated by Peter Cusack<\/a> in the frame of his Residency at The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and explores our relationship with and the importance of sound in the urban context. Klang Orte Berlin\/Berlin Sonic Places continues the discourse started by Tuned City Berlin<\/a> in 2008 and aims to develop it further in cooperation with the UDK Sound Studies<\/a> and a wide range of local and international partners. The project is realised by dock e.V.<\/a> in cooperation with The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nFrom June to September 2012 Berlin Sonic Spaces will illuminate the issues through talks, discussions and performances. In 3 one day events the perspectives of different interest groups groups \u2013 artists, architects\/planners, sociologists, musicians, residents, administrators, local communities and the public \u2013 will be brought together for a lively dialogue on the city\u2019s changing soundscape.
\nThree themed modules will be presented in three exemplary places \u2013 Pankow\/Prenzlauer Berg, \/Wasserstadt \u2013 Rummelsburg\/Stralau and Tempelhof Airfield. They all explore the spatial and communicative potential of sound as a tool and a means of urban practice. A cross disciplinary dialogue will be built that traces out the complex relations and interactions of space-sound by presenting and testing new strategies, methods and possibilities of sound work within artistic and applied contexts.
\nThe results of the Berlin research modules and the collaboration between Peter Cusack, Sam Auinger and students of UDK Sound Studies Berlin will be featured at Ars Electronica 2012 in Linz this September.<\/p>\n
