Following this year's questions (what is indigenous? what is natural?
what is (there) to occupy?), Artivistic aims to further its mandate
of developing new methodologies of knowledge production and
collaborative activist art practices by organizing an
interdisciplinary research project that will bring together local and
international sound artists, musicologists, ecologists and anyone
interested in exploring the sonic aspect of the current ecological
crisis and the role of sound in raising awareness about our
environment.

The project is two-fold. It includes a collaborative hands-on
workshop into the city on October 25th-26th. Participants will be
invited to choose specific sites in Montreal that are relevant to the
current ecological crisis in order to conduct sonic research in the
form of field and environmental recordings (phonography) facilitated
by London phonographer Peter Cusack, Montreal sound artist
Jean-Pierre Aubé, and others.

In turn, the workshop participants will be invited to take part in a
collective sound performance at the SAT (Society for Arts and
Technology) in the evening of October 26th as part of the Artivistic
2007 gathering in collaboration with UpgradeMTL.

The open performance and deep listening session, entitled Montreal
Phonographers Union, will be facilitated by Seattle sound artist
Christopher DeLaurenti and will be the occasion where non-musicians,
musicians, and sound artists convene to practice collective
listening. The "union" is an ad hoc meeting open to anyone with an
interest in communal listening. The performance will be followed by a
group discussion.
