Dr. Salomé Voegelin is a Professor of Sound, she is a Course Tutor for MA Sound Arts and BA (Hons) Sound Arts and Design, as well as a PhD Supervisor and Post-doctoral Mentor at London College of Communication.
She is a member of the Centre for Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP) and an internationally respected researcher in the field of sound arts, sound studies, sonic politics and philosophy.
Salomé is an artist, researcher and writer engaged in listening and sound making as a socio-political practice. She works from the relational logic of sound to focus on the in-between and the liminal, where different disciplines meet to find undisciplined new knowledge possibilities.
She is deeply invested in the benefits of a Sonic Pedagogy: sound enabling situated, plural and embodied learning and teaching opportunities; and researches the possibilities of sound’s relationality for environmental science and philosophy. Her series of collective actions Designing a Sonic Planet takes the invisible and relational as a starting point to employ musical and sonic sensibilities to re-imagine the world from its indivisibility.
Salomé writes articles and papers, books, texts and text-scores for performance and publication. Her most recent book Uncurating Sound: Knowledge with Voice and Hands (2023) moves curation through the double negative of not not to ‘uncuration’: untethering knowledge from the expectations of reference and a canonical frame, and reconsidering art as political not in its message or aim, but by the way it confronts the institution.
While Unperfoming the Dream House (2023), revisits La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela’s minimalist, inhabitable sound sculpture, to reflect on what its dream was then, and what nightmare it might stand for today.
