*FYI
Open Call*
Locus Sonus Lab is recruting 3 research fellows for the academic year
2007/2008.
Locus Sonus is a research group specialized in audio art
(involving the participating schools: École Supérieure d’Art
d’Aix-en-Provence, École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de
Nice Villa Arson and the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Marseille)
in collaboration with CNRS/MMSH/LAMES Laboratory of the University of
Provence .
Locus Sonus experiments and evaluates the innovative and transdisciplinary
nature of audio art forms in a lab-type context.
Locus Sonus is also concerned with the communal, collective or multi-user
aspects inherent to many emerging audio practices, which involve working
as a group. This research concentrates on two main themes -
sound in relation to space and network audio systems.
The "Lab" proposes a process combining practical artistic experiment
and critical evaluation within a group context.
