→ Sonic Territories Festival

Taking over the blank canvas of Seestadt in Vienna, one of Europe’s largest development projects, artists and collectives collaborate in public space — creating ephemeral, physical, and sonic interventions.
Seestadt, formerly Aspern shows little evidence of its original life as an airfield, its dark wartime past, and then an interim identity as abandoned space and occasional auto racetrack. Here, artists are able to imagine a new kinetic reality for the location.

Through a 3–4-day lab format, selected artists will work together to develop shared performance strategies, participatory gestures, responsive choreography, sound interventions, spatial awareness, and collective voice. With mentoring and facilitation by invited artists (Peter Kirn, Sophia Bulgakova, Uli Kühn), participants will explore how to reimagine form, sound, image, and narrative in an outdoor urban setting.
