Instructions for Alt Listening, Freya Johnson Ross. Sound, Image, and Text

Описание: You are now experiencing sound, image, and text...

Where in sounds, images, and texts are our attentions drawn?

In Freya Johnson Ross’s instructional video, Sound, Image, Text, you will watch a presentation of a short extract from Freya’s moving-image work, 'portals - or - two hues’; firstly, in silence and then with sound.

What are the differences between the two presentations? How do they help us to understand audio-visual ephemera and the relationship between sound, image and text?

You are encouraged to use the comment section below to share your thoughts and engage in conversation with Freya and other listeners.

Instructions for Alt Listening is a new digital commission by Freya Johnson Ross, who asks you to find a place to pause in your day and consider how you listen to and consume forms of visual and audio media.

Here the digital world becomes the site for a workshop gathering. You are encouraged to activate the digital platform’s comment section as a site of the commons, where you can discuss and share your findings with peers near and far and participate in reflection for the post-internet age.

Through a series of five short instructional videos, Johnson Ross walks you through methods in which you can tune into the sounds you hear around you and reflect on our usually automatic processes of listening and looking.

Exploring deep listening, embodied sound, humming, monologues, and notations, Johnson Ross invites you to engage with her practice and find space to attune yourself to new ways of working and thinking.

Instructions for Alt listening continues on from Johnson Ross’s workshop delivered online as part of Humber Street Gallery’s OPEN House series. You do not need to have participated in the workshop to engage with these videos.
