A Presentation by Alice Angus

2 DECEMBER 2001 3PM SONIC GEOGRAPHIES, Architecture Foundation, London
Brandon LaBelle, Alice Angus & Giles Lane
Sonic Geographies aims to explore histories of urban experience and the underlying infrastructure of the city through aural mappings. Through a process of excavation, sound will be used to reflect upon the strata of urban space, from the sound of the city's church bells to the shifting sonic signatures of traffic, music radio and the layers of wireless communications.

Part-lecture, part-performance, a series of scenarios will function as 'objective' maps but also as highly personal renderings of sonic experience - 'sounds of the personal world in conversation with sounds of the city'. Through juxtaposing these mappings, and their notiational language, Sonic Geographies aims to 'excavate' the layers of sound that make up the city in order to articulate sonic difference and expose the different environmental characteristics of London's soundscape.
Sonic Geographies is presented as part of the Architecture Foundation's Calling London Season.
Venue Address: 30 Bury Street London SW1Y 6AU London.

2 APRIL 2001 PEER2PEER SEMINAR, Royal College of Art, London
A one-day seminar to bring together artists, designers, curators, researchers and others involved or interested in using converging communications networks and technologies for delivering and developing experimental, artistic and cultural projects.

The aim of the event will be to explore questions of access to emerging networks and the potential for new kinds of cultural and artistic spaces to emerge as broadband, wireless and ubiquitous computing affect and further mesh public and private spaces.

A few short presentations will be made to familiarise each other with projects and activities - acting as the starting off point for discussions around how to facilitate collaborations and exchanges between academia, the cultural sector and industry. Representatives from industry and government/ regulatory bodies will be invited to make presentations on future developments and meet potential collaborators.

Chairs: Giles Lane & David Sinden (Lighthouse Media Centre, Brighton)
Presentations: Lucy Kimbell; Don Foresta (Marcel); Philip Phelan; Caroline Griffiths (OmniSky); Rory Hamilton & Jon Rogers (RCA CRD RESEARCH)

Participants included individual artists and designers, as well as people from: Nortel Networks, Orange, Thought Interactive, OmniSky International, Department of Trade & Industry, Arts Council of England, South East Arts, Rockefeller Foundation, Royal College of Art, London School of Economics, University of Westminster, University of Plymouth, University College London, Birkbeck College, University of East London, University of Oxford, University of Vienna, Foundation for Information Policy Research, Institute of Contemporary Arts, Blast Theory, Tate Modern, Wimbledon School of Art, Dartington College of Art, Hull Time Based Arts, C/PLEX & b.tv
