Our projects
In development
aifoon is an organization that examines different methods of involving a wide audience in the many facets of sound and listening art. We work on concepts and creative experiments, and we test technical possibilities. All our projects undergo a co-creative growth process.
KORROL
Research into the tangible listening.
Schroot/Hoop: objects with a story
A podcast about everyday objects with a story. Because even for scraps, there is hope.
Portfolio
Through artistic productions and interventions, training programs and participatory projects, aifoon teases and questions various listening attitudes and strategies.
Co-listening
We actively stimulate the auditory imagination and challenge people to actively question listening by listening together.
