Sound Campus is a yearly program presented in collaboration with Ars Electronica and University of Arts Linz, from the 2nd to the 4th of September 2025. This year’s edition of Sound Campus will focus on the theme of PLAY as a tool for improvisation,
shaking boundaries, and fixed notions of possibility. We understand playing as a path to experimentation, renewal, and resistance, that can be a re-enchantment of our framing of the world. Under this premise, Sound Campus becomes a play(ground) where the performance format is altered into various shapes, such as collective
interventions, dialogues in back-toback (B2B) sets, playing the city, and shared processes of collaboration. A game that spreads without a win, sharing, leaving a trace… as we turn the “sound on” and let chance take over.

SOUNDS OUT – RESONANT BODIES
Cyrill Lim (CH), Sabine Marte (AT)
How do sound and space interact? How can we (re-)claim architecture and make it audible? In this workshop, participants explore acoustics and voice through musical and performative experiments. Open to anyone curious about sound and space.
