The event is part of the series I Pomeriggi dedicated to the Fellows.
Curated by Ambra Viviani (Fellow Roma Calling / Visual Arts)

Agg vist nu rummor (I saw a noise) is a listening session that explores forms of ambiguity, misalignment and deception in the auditory experience, focusing on the relationship between sound perception and the construction of the imaginary. Through practices such as those of noisemakers and dubbers, in which sound is produced to deliberately detach itself from its source and replace other actions and figures, the supposed transparency of sound language is questioned, highlighting the gap between what is heard and what is supposed to have originated it. In this space of uncertainty, the listener is invited to autonomously reconstruct scenes, bodies and environments, activating an imaginative process that is both subjective and shared. Error, misunderstanding and substitution become generative elements of meaning, opening up a possible co-authorship of listening.

The session proposes a journey through different formats, from radio audio drama to subscription podcasts, in dialogue with contemporary artistic practice, to question the synaesthetic potential of listening and its capacity to subvert the perceptive hierarchy between seeing and hearing.

Ambra Viviani (1993) is an artist living and working between Naples and Basel. Her research focuses on the de/reconstruction of the language of love through auditory situations prefigured by aphasic personality-objects. She holds an MFA from the Institut Kunst in Basel and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the ZHdK in Zurich. In 2020, she founded the project space Giulietta in Basel. In 2019, she was in residence in Hangzhou, in 2018 in Berlin at the Akademie der Kunste, and in 2017 at the Tropical Lab in Singapore. In Rome, she is continuing her doctoral thesis by working on a radio drama about love, exploring private collections, the Archivio Luce, and Rai Teche.
