about
Hosts
Jan St. Werner is a founding member of the pioneering band Mouse on Mars and the mind behind the experimental label Fiepblatter Catalogue. His practice moves between music, sound art and research, questioning how listening can create new forms of perception. He has taught at MIT’s Program in Art, Culture and Technology and was Professor for Interactive Art and Dynamic Acoustic Research in Nuremberg and Munich.
Michael Akstaller works across sound art, architecture and science. His research explores spatial perception through directed sound sources, as well as the interplay between hydrodynamics, morphology and acoustic phenomena. Trained in fine arts, design and engineering, he combines technical precision with creative experimentation. Together with Jan St. Werner, he initiated the Class for Dynamic Acoustic Research in Nuremberg, today an independent collective dedicated to sonic practices.

Workshop
Three-Day Hybrid Seminar & Workshop
on Sound as Spatial Phenomenon
– Listening Sessions
– Field Recordings
– Collective Performance Strategies
Can we navigate the world through sound? What are the possibilities of sound as a mode to discover new forms of reality? The Space Academy Workshop explores sound as a way of orientation and a form of collective knowledge. Participants will listen, record, experiment, and discuss how sound opens alternative worlds and new ways of engaging with spatial dynamics. This is not a music production course, but a practice of deep listening, field recording, collective performance, and critical reflection.
The workshop is available through an open call. Participants will be selected based on applications.
Please make sure you can show up at all three days of the workshop, because the program consists of several stages which are strongly connected, each one leading into the next.
The workshop will be held in English.
Where: TBA
When: September 29, 30 / October 1
