Hannan Jones and Shamica Ruddock at the Future Soundscapes Festival 2023

Future Soundscapes Festival 2023, organized by silent green, invites on a journey into the audiovisual future and presents artists at the intersection of music, media art and sound art. With the sound performance Re-imagining in conversation by Hannan Jones and Shamica Ruddock, two current web residents of Akademie Schloss Solitude are represented.

In her research, Hannan Jones (Glasgow/Scotland) draws parallels of personal and collective histories; navigating this through themes of hybridity through language, rhythm, and psycho-geography. Shamica Ruddock (London/UK) is an artist-researcher often found working between sound, text, and moving image. Ruddock’s research considers Caribbean masquerade and oral folk storytelling practices, Black technopoetics, sound culture, and technosonic production. Fugitivity and refusal are also key departure points.

The sound performance Re-imagining in conversation is a cooperation of Future Soundscapes Festival and the Digital Solitude program of Akademie Schloss Solitude. The project is further developed in the frame of the web residency »Algorithmic Poetry«, a cooperation of Akademie Schloss Solitude and Liquid Architecture.
