SALONG
An interdisciplinary artists’ collective that reflects on listening in all its forms. From there, a list of listening attitudes developed – from memory to imagination!
For artists
aifoon offers artists within a wide range of disciplines to explore listening in new ways. We invite makers to experiment with the choreography of sound, and the scenography of listening. We support artists in creating immersive sound experiences using tools such as The Swarm, our wireless speaker system, and through in-depth artistic trajectories focused on listening practices.
We also encourage a physical and mindful approach to sound. Embodied listening and the spatial modulation of sound stands at the core of our work with dancers and performers who connect movement to listening.
The Swarm
The Swarm creates immersive sound experiences for performances and participatory projects, designed to let sound flow live and from all directions.
Artistic Workshops
Programmes in which participants grow at their own pace. Experiment with the artistic power of sound. From social work students to library visitors: our workshops open up new worlds of listening, making, and discovering.
Masterclasses
For those seeking new inspiration concerning sound and listening. Explore listening in innovative ways. Choose from two masterclasses where sound, listening, and movement take centre stage.
The Swarm: Compositions
Sound in motion, motion as composition. A performance that challenges the tangibility of sound. Speakers are moved around, stacked, and redistributed following an invisible choreography.
Read: What is Listening?
‘Listening’ isn't just ‘hearing’. It’s a physical, mental, and emotional experience that connects us with our surroundings, with ourselves, and with one another. This essay explores listening as a conscious, dialogical art form.
Read: Wat is Listening Art?
Sound moves, vibrates, and touches us – not only through our ears, but through our whole body. aifoon explores listening as an artistic act: intuitive, relational, and physical. Listening art opens both the ears and the imagination.
