Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of reflexive augmented listening using three sound art projects realized by the authors as examples. Presenting a new take on the traditional soundwalk experience, two of the projects are location-specific and engage with historic events, and one of them employs machine learning to create an emergent form of location-specificity that adapts to the place where the audience is located. Facilitated by the custom-developed hardware platform of a combined sensor and transducer headset, the projects use a form of augmented reality that is focused on listening and the experience of sound and body movement in service of a reflexive engagement with historic events, space and sound. The paper discusses the conceptual, aesthetic and technological developments made in the realization of these projects. It contrasts the author’s approach with augmented reality experiences of current, predominantly visual, forms.
