Spatial Listening Architectures

Writings on practice, 2008–2026

These texts began as a way to defend the work against misreading. They became something else: an attempt to understand, from the inside, what spatial listening installations actually depend on — and what they can make possible when they hold.

Three registers: core texts on the methodological and perceptual foundations; working notes written in the middle of making, beside specific decisions; a development section tracing how this language formed from 2008 to now.

Some texts repeat. In spatial work, returning to the same place from another direction is not redundancy. It is how a field gradually becomes known.

Written during a funded artistic research period supported by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
