Salomé Voegelin is an artist and writer engaged in lis­ten­ing as a socio-polit­i­cal prac­tice of sound. She is the author of Lis­ten­ing to Noise and Silence : Towards a Phi­los­o­phy of Sound Art, Con­tin­uüm and Son­ic Pos­si­ble Worlds : Hear­ing the Con­tin­uüm of Sound. Voegelin’s sound arts prac­tice involves com­po­si­tions pro­duced by her­self and in col­lab­o­ra­tion with David Mollin. While her solo work focus­es on the small and slight, unseen per­for­mances and moments that almost fail to hap­pen, her col­lab­o­ra­tive work has a more con­cep­tu­al basis, estab­lish­ing through words and sounds con­ver­sa­tions and recon­fig­u­ra­tions of rela­tion­ships and real­i­ties. She is a Read­er in Sound Arts at Lon­don Col­lege of Com­mu­ni­ca­tion, UAL. 

Bran­don LaBelle is an artist, writer and the­o­rist work­ing with ques­tions of social life and cul­tur­al agency, using sound, per­for­mance, text and sit­ed con­struc­tions. He devel­ops and presents artis­tic projects and per­for­mances with­in a range of inter­na­tion­al con­texts, often work­ing in pub­lic. This leads to inter­ven­tions and per­for­ma­tive instal­la­tions, archival work, and micro-actions aimed at the sphere of the (un)common and the unlike­ly. He is also an active lec­tur­er work­ing with insti­tu­tions around the world address­ing ques­tions of audi­to­ry cul­ture, son­ic and spa­tial arts, exper­i­men­tal media prac­tices and the voice. Cur­rent research projects focus on voic­ing and chore­o­gra­phies of the mouth, son­ic mate­ri­al­i­ty and audi­to­ry knowl­edge, and the aes­thet­ics and pol­i­tics of invis­i­bil­i­ty. He is Pro­fes­sor at the Bergen Acad­e­my of Art and Design, Norway.

Alex Arteaga’s research inte­grates aes­thet­ic and philo­soph­i­cal prac­tices relat­ing to the emer­gence of sense, mean­ing and knowl­edge, aes­thet­ics and the rela­tion­ships between aural­i­ty, archi­tec­ture and the envi­ron­ment through phe­nom­e­no­log­i­cal and enac­tivist approach­es. He heads the Audi­to­ry Archi­tec­ture Research Unit and the area of Audi­to­ry Archi­tec­ture in the mas­ter pro­gram Sound Stud­ies at the Berlin Uni­ver­si­ty of the Arts.
