ÆSR Outcomes: Closing event of the Applied/Experimental Sound Research Lab

The ÆSR Lab will present key findings from three years of applied and experimental sound research – featuring open labs, artistic contributions, a sound walk and a panel discussion. A project involving the Support Art and Research Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
About the ÆSR Lab
The ÆSR Lab (Applied/Experimental Sound Research Lab) is a modular sound research laboratory at the interface between art and science. As an infrastructure equipped with precision instruments and state-of-the-art technology, it promotes interdisciplinary research and artistic creation and supports the development and testing of new technologies.

The ÆSR Lab has been realised over the past three years by the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Support Art and Research) in cooperation with the Artistic Research Center (ARC), the Institute for Composition, Electroacoustics and Sound Engineering (IKE) at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, and the Phonogram Archive of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
 
The public closing event ÆSR Outcomes offers insights into current artistic productions and research findings, an opportunity to test and listen to various technologies, a search for “sonic ghosts”, and an open discussion on further use and integration into local networks.
