Fragile Minutes will host a conversation with artists james K, Jennifer Walton, and Malibu into current internet ecologies in relation to sound, music, and listening as social and digital practices. The artists will explore how digital networks and platforms shape not only what we listen to, but how, where, and with whom listening happens, and how presence and participation are continually reconfigured as the boundaries between online and offline realms increasingly collapse. With the internet as a site where sounds are sampled, remixed, bootlegged, shared, and published, listening emerges as a relational and embodied act – entangled with algorithms, interfaces, its economies of circulation, modes of gathering, and the emergence of sonic subgenres. Interested in emerging “online worldings” and DIY approaches to the internet, Fragile Minutes traces the connections between platform, self, ear, body, other, and sound, inviting audiences into a collective process of listening, reflection, and storytelling. The conversation and listening session is co-curated and moderated by Federica Notari, researcher at Nieuwe Instituut, and initiator of the research project Through Sounds.
