Vibraception

Vibraception: Investigations in Wavespace Jan St. Werner et al. We often think of space as static, defined by architecture, form, or function-but what if space were understood instead through waves, pulses, and resonances? Vibraception: Investigations in Wavespace brings together a range of experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding space precisely as shaped by such vibratory forces. Conceived as a companion to a series of site-responsive sound interventions recently realized by sound artist Jan St. Werner in and around MSU, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, this beautifully designed book documents and expands upon these sonic explorations from myriad interdisciplinary conceptual angles. The book gathers essays and interviews whose authors engage the central premise of Werner's project from philosophical, scientific, fictional, dialogic, curatorial, and architectural directions to tune into wavespace as a dynamic field constituted by frequencies, interference, and perception. The core investigations in Vibraceptions have been conducted by Michael Akstaller, Rudyard Schmidt, Gascia Ouzounian, Brett Mommersteeg, Nikola Bojic, Damir Gamulin, David Grubbs, and Jan St. Werner. These are complemented by contributions from Louis Chude-Sokei, Marina Peterson, Madison Greenstone, Andy Graydon, Marta Pedisic, and Ana Skegro.
