Son.AR
Son.AR project is the result of a collaboration between the Norwegian Art production platform Art Republic and Mote Studio, a Berlin-based studio whose practice addresses arts and sound.
In 2019, Mote Studio and Art Republic created the foundation for Son.AR. Their first project aimed to develop an avant-garde AR sonic-navigation application for mobile phones, dedicated to the fourth edition of Screen City Biennial in Norway.They combined augmented reality with dynamic music compositions, using GPS location and rendering ambisonic virtual spaces into binaural sound experiences.
In 2020, Son.AR evolved into an artistic collective involving artists from several disciplines and initiating a curatorial-research investigating the concept of sonic augmented reality and aural research into sonic arts and public art.
Their work investigates the boundaries of sound, space and virtuality in relation to architectue, music, poetry, bodies and social interelations.
Son. AR is currently presenting and producing the spatial sound installation "Voices from your future past", a group work by Italian sound artists Davide Luciani, Fabio Perletta, Jordan Juras in collaboration with norwegian artist and vocalist Stine Janvin. The artwork will be presented at Ultima Festival 2021 with a multichannel performance and a spatial sound installation in public space, via smartphones.
