In resonance-based spatial perception, also known as echolocation or “FlashSonar,” people perceive their environment through sound impulses and their echoes. This enables practical orientation in everyday life, but it also opens up aesthetic perspectives beyond visually dominated orders.
In this listening session and the discussion that follows it, dis/ability studies researcher Siegfried Saerberg, echolocation trainer Juan Ruiz, and media and conceptual artist Dirk Sorge exchange ideas. They reflect on different approaches to resonance-based spatial perception, from the aesthetic and compositional approach of the artist, to the phenomenological and ethnographic thoughts of the researcher, to the pedagogue’s emancipatory practice of mediation.
Excerpts from a number of artistic works will be listened to collectively. In this way, echolocation can be experienced not just as a technique for orientation, but also as an aesthetic practice and an analytical perspective on sound, space, and resonance.
