The Geologic Imagination
Next edition of the Sonic Acts festival: The Geologic Imagination, which will take place in Amsterdam from 26 February to 1 March 2015. The festival includes a three-days conference, masterclasses, concerts, installations, a film programme, workshops, and a book.
A dramatic descent underground, beneath the rubble. Seismik invites us to take a multisensory leap into the unknown, where sedimentary friction, magnetic waves, rumbling matter, abstractions and motifs clash and collide against a backdrop of visual and sonic dislocations.
Inspired by geosciences, The Geologic Imagination zooms in on planet Earth. A fundamental starting point for this festival is the thesis that we live in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Human activity has irreversibly changed the composition of the atmosphere, the oceans, and even the Earth’s crust. In the Anthropocene, humans have become a force on a geologic scale.
