As part of the summer festival ›Shifting Grounds – IN COMMON‹, Sound Practice Research Kollektiv (SPRK), composed of students from the Folkwang University of the Arts, will acoustically activate the Zollverein slag heap with ›SKIA‹ – a novel, multi-channel loudspeaker system for spatial sound reproduction that deliberately engages with the sonic reality of urban or rural outdoor spaces. The system allows for the precise spatial control of sounds in public spaces and makes it possible to use the acoustic unpredictability of outdoor environments as a creative element. The acoustic activation of the site culminates in the evening, at 9 p.m., with a sound performance on the slag heap, featuring the custom-developed SKIA system.

The Sound Practice Research Collective (SPRK), composed of students from the Folkwang University of the Arts, views space itself as an instrument that reproduces sounds differently depending on the listeners’ position and attention. This results in a dynamic understanding of space that disrupts the conventional relationships between sound and landscape. The collective uses selfmade and conventional instruments, sound recordings of the surroundings, and digital, computer-generated sounds that open up new perspectives on the relationship between the body and the environment.
