- **Event Description**: An immersive sonic experience about the spirit of academic inquiryAbout this EventSurrounded by an octophonic ring of powerful loudspeakers, you are going to sit in the dark for 70 minutes, wear an eye mask, and be taken on a sonic trip with fellow members of your academic community.You’ll hear the vibrations of the Golden Gate Bridge, footsteps of ants, recordings made a century ago, and silence turned into music. You’ll be transported to 1930s Berlin, up to the ionosphere, under a sand dune, and into the middle of a choir singing in a church built in the 6th century.You’ll hear ideas, essays, books, theories, and contemporary research all translated into soundscapes that challenge you to rethink the world through your ears instead of your eyes...and ultimately to reconnect with what makes academic inquiry so meaningful.The performance will be followed by a Q&A with co-producers Chris Hoff and Sam Harnett.LOCATIONThe CubeCREATORSChris Hoff and Sam Harnett are co-producers of Ways of Knowing, a podcast series made in partnership with academic institutions like Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, and The University of Washington.
