sound

Sound is what we experience related to our sense of hearing, including not only the actual vibrations we can hear with our ears and our body, but also the silence, the imagined sounds, the expected sounds, the missing sounds, the wanted or unwanted sound.

space

All kinds of space are potentially relevant for experiencing the phenomenon of sound, such as the social, the architectural, the geographical, the euclidean, or the emotional space.

aesthetics

Our understanding of aesthetics is neither limited to the sensation of sound, sight, or touch, nor is it limited to art critique or beauty. Rather, we conceptualize aesthetics as the way we holistically experience phenomena, including the objects and subjects of everyday life, in relation to our expectations, and based on our individual interpretation of reality. It is in this sense that aesthetics is the lab’s point of reference.
