Aura of Audiography

Filip Johánek (CZ)

POSTCITY, First Floor, CAMPUS

What is an audiography? It is a remedy for visual smog we have to breathe; it is an alternative to an integrated spectacle of instant visual and tactile pleasures that seduce us; it is an imprint of sound which can serve as a trigger of personal memory emergence.

The audiography has the same power as the smell of Madeleine cakes in Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust. Close your eyes and listen. What do you see?
