News From Somewhere

About

News from Somewhere is a multimedia art installation that aims to provoke reflection upon social structures and power dynamics.
Using a touchscreen the audience selects from a numbered list of societies and is immersed in the sonic results of a social study conducted by five world-class improvisers involved in movements for social justice each of whom has chosen the sound arts as their primary form of artistic expression. The result is non-musical and anti-aesthetical; a sonic bridge that links the idea of society with physical creative collaboration mutual aid and evolution.
Today’s rapid environmental degradation and social upheavals demand new systems. The first step toward a new world is imagining it.
