Salomé Voegelin ist eine Autorin und Klangforscherin, die sich mit dem Zuhören als kulturelle und gesellschaftspolitische Praxis beschäftigt. Ihre Arbeiten und Texte befassen sich mit dem Klang und den Welten die dieser Klang hörbar macht: die ästhetischen, sozialen und politischen Realitäten, die durch die Eindringlichkeit einer visuellen Sichtweise verborgen sind, die aber in der relationalen und unsichtbaren Materialität des Klanges neu zur Geltung kommen. Sie schreibt Essays, Bücher und Textpartituren für Performance und Publikation. Ihr jüngstes Buch „The Political Possibility of Sound“, Bloomsbury 2018, artikuliert eine Politik, die Kreativität umfasst und sich durch Klang, Transformation und Zusammenarbeit als Grundlage unseres Zusammenlebens vorstellt.
Voegelins Praxis befasst sich mit partizipativen, kollektiven und kommunalen Ansätzen. Sie hebt kuratorische Konventionen durch Performance auf und organisiert mit Mark Peter Wright den interdisziplinäre Hör- und Klangevent Points of Listening.
Seit 2008 arbeitet sie collaborative mit David Mollin (Mollin + Voegelin) in einer Praxis, die gesellschaftspolitische, architektonische und ästhetische Aktualitäten und Orte durch die Möglichkeiten von Klang, Dingen, Stimmen und Texten neu reflektiert und präsentiert.
Als Forscherin arbeitet sie in den klanglichen Wissenschaften. Sie wendet sich der unsichtbaren und mobilen Dimension der Kunst und des Alltags zu, um neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen, und um neue Fragen formulieren und neue Antworten auf drängende Probleme der Ökologie, Gesundheit, Bildung und soziale Ausgrenzung liefern zu können. www.salomevoegelin.net
Sie ist die PI (Principle Investigator) des Forschungsprojekts Listening across Disciplines II.
Salomé Voegelin is an a writer and researcher engaged in listening as a cultural and socio-political practice. Her work and writing deal with sound and the worlds that sound makes: the aesthetic, social and political realities that are hidden by the persuasiveness of a visual point of view, but gain a new possibility in sound. She writes essays, books and text-scores for performance and publication. Her latest book ‘The Political Possibility of Sound’, Bloomsbury 2018, articulates a politics that includes creativity and invention and imagines transformation and collaboration as the basis of our living together.
Voegelin’s practice engages in participatory, collective and communal approaches. She uncurates curatorial conventions through performance and convenes, with Mark Peter Wright, the regular cross-disciplinary listening and sound making event Points of Listening. Since 2008 she collaborates with David Mollin (Mollin+Voegelin) in a practice that reconsiders socio-political, architectural and aesthetic actualities and sites through the possibilities of sound, things, voices and texts.
As a researcher she works at the forefront of the new knowledge economy established by sound studies and sound art, turning to the invisible and mobile dimension of art and the everyday to achieve new insights that can formulate new questions and deliver novel answers to pressing issues in ecology, health, education and in relation to social exclusion. www.salomevoegelin.net
She is the PI (Principle Investigator) of the research project Listening across Disciplines II.
