Seminar II: "The corpus of voice"

Instructor: Nikos Nauridis, Artist, Professor ASFA

In today’s culture of receiving too much information through broadcasts, radio transmissions, and spectacular productions, people often talk about separating voice from locations, meanings, the human body.
Quite often voice is not a sign of the speaker being present, but of his absence.
The emancipation of voice highlights it as an individual value that can be perceived as sound, presence, sensation, as another equivalent form, as an autonomous body.
As the crisis in words and speech augments, so does “the regime of voice” that uses its vitality to negotiate the void that is created when words retreat.

These meetings research the human voice phenomenon, by sketchily examining various attempts at artistic expression in general. Their aim is the consolidation, study, and approach of “voice” as a living organism beyond the linguistic aspect of speech.

The seminar will take place from Monday 18/1 to Friday 24/1. The meetings will be on Monday and Thursday 5-9 p.m and Tuesday- Wednesday-Thursday 12-4. During the course of the day the students will prepare and gather the material
