Afroditi Psarra is invited for a virtual artist talk at the Princeton University Lewis Center for the Arts, in the context of the course Sound/Mind/Material by Jess Rowland.

VIS 226 / MUS 228 • Spring 2021

Sound is at once ephemeral in air, concrete in material, and conceptualized in the mind. This unique quality makes sound ideal for examining the relationship of our internal experience to physicality. In this course, students will reconsider sound as material through projects exploring physical technologies of sound-making along with listening and viewings of related arts and artists, readings and writings in theories of sound, new media, and phenomenology. This class offers a hybrid experience-an engagement with art-making and seminar, reconsidering our relationship to the body, physical material, and sound embodied in the world.
