Aimée Theriot

I am super excited to be joining forces with Vivian Wang @wangvivian next Thursday, September 4, at Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam.

We are cooking a listening event where we weave together sounds from the building’s surroundings with the voices and traces left by visitors in my interactive installation unbound echo.

Parallel Resonances draws on found sound, field recordings, collective voices, and live material, where Vivian and I will create a shared improvisational landscape in dialogue with the environment and those present. The audience is invited to step into this process and become part of the soundscape as it unfolds as well.

This program is part of Living Forms: Experiences between Architecture and Emotion, an afternoon and evening of performances and conversations stretching out of the exhibition Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion. The program includes talks by Xu Weichao with Mark Minkjan, Mira Nekova, and Gary Zhexi Zhang, leading up to Parallel Resonances at 20:00.

Parallel Resonances is a collaboration with Federica Notari @notajpeg, as part of Through Sounds, a long-term research project that looks at ‘sonic culture’ as a field for spatial and social design.

📍 Nieuwe Instituut, Museumpark 25, Rotterdam
🗓 Thursday 4 September
⏰ 16:00–21:30 (our performance 20:00–21:00)
