Ripple Effects: Aquatic Walking and Listening Workshop
with artist Kathy Hinde
Join interdisciplinary artist Kathy Hinde for an aquatic walking and listening workshop along the River Exe. Participants will be given headphones and guided to engage in deep listening to water in a variety of contexts through hydrophones, geophones, and highly sensitive microphones, accessing sounds that we do not usually perceive or notice. Learn about Kathy’s passion for deep and focused listening and its relationship to audio ecology, inspired by the late composer Pauline Oliveros.
Kathy Hinde is an interdisciplinary artist who creates installations, performances and site specific experiences aiming to nurture a deeper and more embodied connection to the more-than-human world. Composed of hand-made objects, electronics and a blend of digital and analogue systems, her work represents a cross between kinetic sound sculptures and newly invented musical instruments. She creates pieces in response to specific locations and frequently works in collaboration with other practitioners and scientists and often actively involves the audience in the creative process.
Meet at Boatyard Bakery, Exeter Quayside, EX28DP
This will be a slow and gentle walk of about an hour long. Please wear appropriate footwear and bring waterproofs in case of rain.
