During our soundwalks, we dive into every dimension of what it means to listen. Listening as an experience. Hearing is one thing, but truly listening? That’s an art form in itself.
aifoon focuses on creating a lasting impact. We specialise in tailored multi-day programmes designed for specific needs. Since 2005, we’ve been building our expertise in the art of listening, guiding everyone from children and young people to students, professionals and artists.
aifoon is an arts organisation dedicated to transforming how we listen. We create immersive sound installations, interactive performances, and hands-on workshops that challenge everyday listening habits. By bringing people together to actively listen, create and reflect, we open up fresh perspectives on sound – revealing its personal significance and cultural dimensions that often go unnoticed in our daily lives.
The Wikifoon is aifoon's living knowledge repository of insights, tools, theories and exercises focusing on sound, listening and sound art. Here you'll discover in-depth explorations of listening concepts alongside practical resources to help you engage more consciously with sound in your own creative practice.
How do people experience the soundscape of a city? We've noticed that reactions to urban sound are predominantly negative. Too often, sound is equated with 'noise' and hearing damage, but sound isn't inherently problematic. Using our immersive speaker system 'De Zwerm' (The Swarm), we challenge conventional perspectives on our auditory coexistence, revealing the rich acoustic textures that shape our shared urban spaces.
LAwaBO is five days of swooshing and rumbling, cracking and banging, listening and sound hunting! Forget traditional instruments – we create amazing sounds using everyday things like bikes, bendy tubes, and even crisp packets. Get your ears ready for an exciting sound safari!
Following the successful family shows Plock! and Murmur, aifoon joins forces with circus company Grensgeval to create a new circus performance KORROL, suitable for everyone aged four and above.
