The Sounds of Sustainability Project is a multi-site, inter-institutional multimedia art project that transforms sustainable commercial worksites into living, moving, sounding artworks. GEO:Space is the 2024 iteration of this progressive Sounds of Sustainability collaboration.
Initiated by Dr Ivan Zavada and the University of Sydney, The Australian Institute of Music’s 2022 contribution to the ongoing collaborative effort saw Bachelor of Music (Composition and Production) students (led by lecturer Mark Olivero) capture the sounds of construction as AIM’s new Sydney campus was built earlier that year. In 2024 the liminal spaces between AIM, the University of Technology and the University of Sydney’s Composition and Music Technology, students will capture the ‘geographical spaces’ between our institutions with the goal and outcome of creating new, multimedia, collaborative media works.
“Our students used handheld recording gear to move about the space and hunt for interesting sounds and sights,” AIM lecturer Mark Olivero explains. “The challenge was to capture as much as possible, as [the students] never knew what would translate into the catalyst for a multimedia project!” he adds. “I was impressed with how efficiently and effectively they were able to turn ‘found sound’ into sick beats! Or engaging moving images.”
