The seminar will introduce some of Smolicki’s recent works concerned with diverse ways of listening to and composing with historical and present soundscapes. He will share his reflections on soundwalking, soundscape composition and field recording as techniques of critical attention to scales, agencies and temporalities that often remain imperceptible on a day-to-day basis.

Jacek Smolicki is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, researcher and educator. His work explores historical, critical and existential dimensions of listening, recording, and archiving practices in human and more-than-human realms. His work takes the form of soundwalks, soundscape compositions, diverse forms of writing, experimental archives, and audio-visual installations. He has performed, published and exhibited internationally and in 2019 co-founded the Walking Festival of Sound. He holds a PhD in Media and Communications from Malmö University and is currently an international postdoc at Linköping University with guest affiliations at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Harvard University and Uppsala University.
