Electromagnetic surveys<\/em><\/strong><br \/>Christina Kubisch (born 1948 in Bremen, lives in Berlin) is a pioneer of sound art in German-speaking countries and has received numerous honours, most recently the Giga-Hertz Award from the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) Karlsruhe for her life\u2019s work. Her multimedia works have been shown in exhibitions around the world, including solo exhibitions at the following institutions: Kunsthall Trondheim (2022), Museo de Arte Contemporanea, Porto and Saarlandmuseum, Saarbr\u00fccken (both 2021), Akademie der K\u00fcnste, Berlin (2018), Bangkok Art and Culture Center (2016), Creative Media Center, Hong Kong (2012), Kunsthalle Bremen (2008), and Massachussets Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams (1997). She has participated in major group exhibitions on sound art, including at the Maxxi Museo, Rome (2024), Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin and Kunsthalle Praha (both 2022), HKW, Berlin and Museum Tinguely, Basel (2018), The Kitchen, New York (2006), ZKM Karlsruhe (2005), and Hayward Gallery, London (2000). Her works have been shown in large-scale international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale (1978, 1980), documenta, Kassel (1988, 2017), and the Sharjah Biennale (2007). They have also been included in international festivals, such as M\u00e4rz Musik at the Berliner Festspiele (2024), Biennale Musica, Venice (2023), Ultima, Oslo (2021), and Ars Electronica, Linz (2010).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prof Dr Anna Sch\u00fcrmer<em><br \/>Sonotopias. Sound mapping between auditory exploration of the world and speculative future practice<br \/><\/em><\/strong>The term \u2018sonotopias\u2019 combines the concept of sound (sonare) with that of place (topos) \u2013 and thus refers both to places of sound and to forms of spatialisation through listening and attunement. In this sense, field recordings and audio walks can be understood as methods of auditory world exploration: with the aid of microphones, antennas and our ears, the world\u2019s soundscapes are mapped and made tangible \u2013 as an interplay of nature, culture and technology. At the same time, the concept of sonotopy carries a speculative element: resonant utopias of a better world \u2013 and echoes of how it might be and sound. In the spirit of \u2018futuring\u2019 as a proactive process for shaping the future, sound is understood as a medium that not only reflects worldly conditions but also brings them into being through imagination: \u2018Musicking Future\u2019 \u2013 making music of the future.<strong><em><br \/><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anna Sch\u00fcrmer has been the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Professor at Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin since 2026; prior to that, she was a junior professor of musicology at the Cologne University of Music and Dance from 2023. In her academic work, she advocates interdisciplinary perspectives and discourses within the context of \u2018Music and Media\u2019 (Sound Studies). Specifically: intersectional approaches in music research (Queer Musicology), speculative forms of sound-based knowledge production (Musicking Future \u2013 Futuring Music), and auditory perspectives in artistic research (Acoustic Research). She pays particular attention to new and electronic (club) music. Outside academia, Anns Sch\u00fcrmer also works as a music journalist: she hosts programmes, gives sound lectures, leads listening sessions and publishes regularly in various print, radio and online media.
