The Sonic Memorial

The latest commemorative context is the presenting The Sonic Memorial
featuring a non-visual type of art – soundart.

The Memorial is consisting of two individual sonic art projects –

1. soundCollective – collective trauma, identity and sonic art
2. soundMigration – migration in a global context and sonic art

1.


soundCOLLECTIVE – collective trauma, identity and sonic art–
on occasion of the commemoration day – 9 November 2015 – the 77th return of the “Night of Broken Glass (Reichskristallnacht), when the NAZI were destroying the synagogues in Germany just in 1 night. This date is considered to be the start of the HOLOCAUST and the neverending collective trauma.

This unique media art project – http://soc.newmediafest.org – is dealing with the relation between collective trauma, identity and sonic art. it is dedicated to the victims of Holocaust in special, and in general to all victims of totalitarinism and war. Therefore it became corporate part of the media art memorial project ://self~imaging – artists show face against Intolerance, Racism, Xenophobia and Anti-Semitism – http://self.engad.org/2016/

soundMIGRATION – migration in a global context
has been initiated in 2017 for The W:OW Project – We Are One World – http://wow.engad.org . The title refers to the current global phenomenon of migration, but goes actually down to the philosophical aspect of migrating as an active and evolutionary process in human existence, offering desaster and chance alike.
The invited artists commemorate with sonic associations.
The project of “soundMigration” is including two curators- Wilfried Agricola as the initiator and chief chief curator and as a guest curator – Rainer Krause, a reknown soundartist based in Chile.

List of selected artists
