Keynote:

Marcel Cobussen (Professor of Auditory Culture and Music Philosophy at Leiden University) will share a keynote lecture on the necessity of revisiting NOISE and of understanding it as an active terminology that interacts with the social, political, ecological, and even ethical aspects of sound and non-sound. This will be followed by a Forum For Noise with researchers and artists working in various disciplines that engage with NOISE.
