‘Sound Pods’ by Emilie Flower, Lynette Queck and Rebecca Carr. Interactive soundscape and installation.

The soundscapes are an opportunity to appreciate the raw noise of unprocessed data.

Research is a generative process, and the raw data can be hard to understand. The sound scapes are a projection of data that was generated by research at the centre. They take as their inspiration the replacement of the head with a lotus flower, a repeating motif in the Bangladeshi creative alternatives research workshop in Dhaka.

Much of the artwork in the Art and Activism exhibition was a response to data generated by research – but what distinguishes it from the usual way that we encounter research is that it has been analysed and distilled by artists rather than social scientists, and presented through their lens.
