Learning Nearby: Gatot Danar Sulistiyanto

For more than a decade working in the context of sound’s relationship with social life and society, Gatot Danar Sulistiyanto has come to recognize a complex and multifaceted constellation between sound, space, and human beings. The relationship among these three is shaped by underlying narratives that encompass aspects of civilization, socio-political dynamics, and hybridized science and technology.

As civilization becomes increasingly influenced by technological acceleration and sound production, how does the act of listening adapt and evolve? In this edition of the Learning Nearby program, titled “Social Metaphors in a New Map of the Auditory Landscape”, Gatot Danar will explore how listening functions in today’s context, and how both listening and sound play a role in shaping power dynamics within society.
