Passed first year of undergraduate studies. Interest in architecture and sound. Basic skills in operating audio equipment.

The Sound Activity Space Studio (PPDD) runs an online course devoted to the nature and
workings of sound in the context of space and architecture. At the studio, we shape an
individual understanding of what sound is and of the reasons why it cannot exist beyond
space. We also look for new parameters for sound and space in the new era.
We focus on the physicality of sound. We examine the functioning of speech organs. We
work on recorded sound: drawn, sculpted, painted, embroidered, etc., treating each of these
activities in relation to the creation of sound. Sound – both pure as well as mediated and
determined by other media – offers us tools to explore and create architecture. We work with
various kinds of spaces and make different realities collide in search of new platforms of
speaking and communication.
We describe the model and structure of our sound and space activities with verbs: we
approach sound, we augment, dissolve, remove, erase, copy, distort, crush sound and throw it
out of space. We look for simple solutions, we use widely available tools and perform basic,
uncomplicated gestures. By choosing less advanced technologies, we consciously respond to
the technological overload of today’s world. We oppose this dominant tendency of the
modern-day era.
We take our activities outdoors in order to explore the changing meanings of open space and
architecture at a time of social isolation due to the pandemic. We look for places that, just like
a balcony looking out onto the street, problematise the indoors/outdoors division. We seek
new ways of using such spaces.
 
At the studio, we work with voice and the right to speak in physical, social and political
contexts. We explore the possibilities and conditions of giving voice and taking it away. We
learn to take responsibility for voice. We also speak together as a group. In this way, we look
for methods of aural collaboration and co-existence, establishing various connections beyond
radio, telephone and online channels.
Together we seek creative inspirations, tools and solutions that will give us the power and
possibility to influence the world.
