In 2022-2023, Syndicate of Sound and Space (SSS) proposed, developed and presented a programme for Transpersonal Experience and Process-Based Research at the Spatial Sound Institute (SSI). SSS invited scientific and artistic practitioners to explore the nature of being through the constantly evolving entity of sound ‘HOLOS‘. A technological framework in which every contributing individual integrates into a larger system of awareness. Sound and space as self-organising container of collective memory. The project was presented as an acoustic ecology driven by organic intelligence, with the aim to enhance collectively embodied and attentive modes of listening throughout all visitors.
The team efforts of SSS resulted in a 24/7 event at art quarter in Budapest (aqb) from the 18th until the 24th of May 2023. An activation of SSS in conversation with HOLOS. Seven days, each day with its own theme of focus:
🟠 18.05.2023; Thursday — Growth; gratitude, prosperity and knowledge.
🟣 19.05.2023; Friday — Creativity; sensitivity, intuition and playfulness.
⚫ 20.05.2023; Saturday — Reflection; organization, power and change.
🟡 21.05.2023; Sunday — Joy; vitality, spirituality and essence.
🔵 22.05.2023; Monday — Rest; emotions, subconscious and cleaning.
🔴 23.05.2023; Tuesday — Body; stimulation, insistence and vigor.
🟢 24.05.2023; Wednesday — Mind; intellect, communication and negotiation.
During the event, a diverse group of local and international artists and researchers co-facilitated a programme to guide visitors through a wide range of live activations, performances, generative installations, interpretations, interactive research, improvisation, process sharing and presentations, collective sleeping, lectures and workshops, fixed media pieces and infusions of composed pieces of the SSI archive into HOLOS.
To officially conclude the explorations of SSS, a text and film has been published that culminates vision and experiences into a larger field of explorations around sound, space and a future consciousness. The online publication envisions a radical paradigm shift from a past material-centred worldview into a future reality with consciousness at its centre. By proposing art and spatial sound as catalysts, the text and overall process places a symbol on the transition from the legacy of the Spatial Sound Institute to research-driven experiments of Syndicate of Sound and Space that led up to the development of HOLOS.
