A three day event exploring the themes, issues and practices of contemporary field recording
Dates: 4, 5, 6 July 2024.
Venue: In person at London College of Communication, Elephant and Castle, London, SE1 6SB and online
Following on from our previous call for contributions we are delighted to announce In The Field 2 an event exploring the themes, issues and practices of contemporary field recording. Over three days, through peer-reviewed presentations, workshops, sound and video works, we will share multi-disciplinary perspectives on practices, methods and theoretical approaches from over eighty international presenters.
In the Field 2 follows on from the international 2013 symposium of the same name, organised by CRiSAP (Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice), University of the Arts London in collaboration with the British Library. While the 2013 event mapped contemporary practices and their historical precedents, In the Field 2 will investigate how the practice of field recording has changed in the intervening decade of escalating ecological, political, social and financial challenges.
Schedule
Registration starts at 09.30 each day, the event runs until approximately 18.30
There will also be an exhibition with a listening room and video screening room available throughout the event. (Exhibitors to be announced)
