Discussion | Turning Towards a Radical Listening: How Our Lives Are Shaped by Language

Wednesday, October 9, 2019, 7:00 pm

Free

In Turning Towards a Radical Listening, James Allister Sprang will develop a sculptural sound-based installation over the course of a five-week residency. The project begins with a series of conversations between Sprang and poets M. NourbeSe Philip, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, and Tracie Morris considering how our lives are shaped (if not, in a sense, programmed) by language. 

These conversations will be recorded, with the resulting files featured in Sprang’s live performances as the artist runs them through voice-to-text software and other applications to highlight—and potentially to make new meaning from—algorithmic alterations and glitches.

M. NourbeSe Philip: Saturday, October 5, 4pm
Rachel Eliza Griffiths: Wednesday, October 9, 7pm
Tracie Morris: Saturday, October 12, 4pm
