This year’s Keynote Speaker is Dr. Alex Arteaga. Alex Arteaga’s research integrates aesthetic and philosophical practices relating to aesthetics, the emergence of sense, meaning and knowledge, and the relationships between aurality, architecture and the environment through phenomenological and enactivist approaches. He studied piano, music theory, composition, electroacoustic music, and architecture in Berlin and Barcelona and received a Ph.D. in philosophy from the Humboldt University.

He currently heads the Auditory Architecture Research Unit and the Department of Auditory Architecture in the MA Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts and is professor for contemporary philosophy and artistic research at the Research Master in Art and Design at EINA / Universitat
Autonoma de Barcelona. The title of his address is “Auditory Architecture: Environment, Sense, and Aurality.”
How do our environments emerge when we focus our activity on hearing and listening? How do these modalities of action condition the ongoing process of sense-making? Which practices and methods of research are appropriate to address these questions in a non-reductive way? In this lecture Alex Arteaga will present the conceptual framework and the main practices developed at the Auditory Architecture Research Unit (Berlin University of the Arts) for the research and design of “Klangumwelten”: the “surrounding-aural-worlds.”
