Following last September’s catastrophic floods in the Pelio and Thessaly regions the 3rd International Workshop in Theory and Sound explores ideas defining water’s agential matter, such as flow, overflow, debris, leakage, torrent, inundation, tidal waves and tectonics, ruination, cataclysm, mud, mold, dripping, pollution, among others, along with their political/ecological resonances in sound. The “Daniel” and “Elias” storms foregrounded processes of neoliberal water politics and eco-governmentality variously regulating sensibilities of “nature”, the “state”, the “citizen” and their interfaces, sensibilities promoting a future-oriented agenda for nature’s domestication and market-oriented hydrospheric “development”. At the same time, their eventful auralities drew our attention to water’s “unknowability” and “inter-agentivity” as well as to water as a “hyperobject”, powerful enough to disorder, rupture, dissolve, probe the limits of, even undo, human and more-than-human lives, rebooting the way we reason the world we now live in.
The theoretical workshop is organized in sessions providing platforms for crafting ideas, questions and concepts in alignment with the artistic workshop.
The artistic workshop is intended as a multimodal creative regime potentially redistributing and recharging theory across the artistic process.
