Accepted Paper:
Sun: A Sonorous Filmic Material
Işıl Karataş
(University of Vienna)
This sound work deals with less representational methods working with the human voice that stays on top of the hierarchies of sound. By re-enacting a recorded interview, I examine the interview format as an affective space beyond the data protection laws and translation of spoken words to text.
Paper long abstract:
In my PhD research, I follow the affective and material expressions appearing from human-nonhuman interaction of art and technology by concentrating on analogue filmmaking in a digital era. With a sensory ethnographic approach and a focus on the process of "art in the making", one of my research methods is to listen to and record the sounds in the artist-run film labs in Vienna and Berlin and repair shops in Istanbul. Sounds grant me a symbiotic understanding of the relationality between complex earthly, (non)human and (non)living energies that shape historical and contemporary media ecologies.
In this sound work, I experiment with the emotional interplay between the voices of two supposedly separated categories -the researcher and the researched- by bringing them together in my voice -the ethnographer as the interpreter.
