Fin Wegener

We’re all fretting (well, a lot of us are) about the imminent take over of AI, but maybe we should be listening to and prioritising our focus on another kind of language and intelligence – one that’s always been there (and doesn’t require a monthly subscription).

Hearing Now is an ongoing project by Finley Wegener that explores natural places through site-responsive, durational experimental music performance. These performances engage interdisciplinary techniques of environmental monitoring, sound installation, and improvised performance to reveal, amplify, and decorate natural processes and soundscapes. It not only involves the natural world but collaborates with it. Hidden sounds, revealed through a distributed sound system, allow audiences to experience the minutiae of ecology – to uncover further depths of aesthetics to be found in the environment.

NOTE: Hearing Now is not a permanent installation, but a series of activations over the course Floating Land, occurring as weekend programming. It is only available at advertised times.
