Innerspace Listening Lab
Interactive listening experiments in attentional agency using live improvised soundscapes
Innerspace Listening Lab is a facilitated sound experience structured as a collective listening experiment. Participants will engage with a series of short, improvised live sound pieces performed by members of Innerspace Collective. Simple suggestions for engaging with the sounds will be offered before each piece, followed by facilitated reflection, inviting participants to notice how their attention and internal responses shift across varying sonic environments.
In a media landscape deliberately designed to capture attention and anesthetize awareness, Innerspace Listening Lab offers counter-cultural practices that interrupt automatic consumption and support participants in reclaiming agency over their attention.
Free with RSVP — register above.
Innerspace Listening Lab was designed and will be facilitated by j. howd (they/them), an avid meditator and multi-disciplinary artist whose work bridges contemplative practice and art to question dominant narratives and create space for deeper connection with self, community, and the greater web of life. Their work has been presented and published domestically and internationally on the radio, in books, art galleries, community organizations, sculpture parks, on stages, and in film theatres.
