Short presentation
Researcher at the BioMe Project at the Department of Informatics and Media. Committed to practice-based, artistic and design methods, Smolicki explores temporal, existential and technological dimensions of listening, recording and archiving practices in human and more-than-human realms. His work is manifested through soundwalks, soundscape compositions, diverse forms of writing, & a/v installations. His current research concerns human and other-than-human voices and technologies of capture.
