Activities

“Al gehoord van immersive audio experiences? Dat zijn indrukwekkende geluidservaringen die je helemaal meeslepen met 3D-geluid. En jij kan zo’n experiences komen beleven tijdens de Dag van de Wetenschap.  We verwachten jou en je oren in ons accoustisch labo ASIL waar onze 80 luidsprekers je meevoeren in een viertal van die immersive audio experiences. Oehs, aahs en wows gegarandeerd!”

Gone For Eggs excerpt (Philippe Macnab-Seguin; McGill, CA):  ‘Every night, we experience a small taste of death when we lose consciousness in the depths of sleep. Every morning, we are born anew.  Gone For Eggs takes this fundamental experience as a starting point to explore the oscillation between day and night, consciousness and unconsciousness, life and death.’  More info about ‘Gone For Eggs’

Synthi Explorations (Natasha Pirard):  Spatial composition by our Synthi-100 resident Natasha Pirard, in collaboration with 404.

Listening as Visually Impaired (Ilke De Vriese): 

Being Hungry (Tineke De Meyer):  written at the beginning of the lockdowns, devoted to the practice of just walking, aimlessly.  More info
