„Soundreaming” is a digital audio-visual archive that uses the environment as the principal inspiration for the project. Inspired by location, experience and memory and motivated by the inversion of the traditional roles of photography and sound in the media and art worlds, „Soundreaming” emphasizes the importance of the acoustic environment on our memory and perception of place. Soundscapes replace photography as the dominant documentary element at the core of the artistic practice. The visual representation is directly inspired by the audio documentation of the locations featured in the archive. Moreover, this technique allows for the transparency of environmental sound to shape the audience’s perception of the artwork and in turn, allows the visual component of the composition more freedom to express itself.
