Sonic Synchronicity [2021]
Behind the acronym DAF is Dynamic Acoustic Research, a project with a changing membership that does not understand sound art rigidly and statically as sculpture, but rather pursues a social, material and energetic practice. In its work Sonic Synchronicity, the collective borrows from Maryanne Amacher's sound art series City Links, for which the US artist transferred the soundscapes of remote locations to galleries in real time. DAF, however, will also dynamise this approach: Protagonists equipped with microphones move through and around the HKW and the Lenbachhaus; the signals they send are mixed by other members of the collective and, as a multi-channel installation, repeatedly intervene in unexpected places and at unspecified times. In this way, the sounds of very specific places do not come together at another, but input and output are constantly in motion and the results can be experienced in a dynamically new way. The urban space, which was highly regulated in times of pandemic, becomes fluid through the DAF activities and enables both the documentation and the collective interpretation of the individually experienced soundscape of architecture.
