Abstract

KIMA: Noise is a participatory art work by the Analema Group originally exhibited as a site-specific installation at Tate Modern: The artwork invites audiences to explore the impact of urban noises interactively through 360 sound installation, via drawing an ambisonic sound trajectory - a virtual sound walk. Using specific urban sound sources, the audience experiences urban noise as spatial soundscapes, responding to it, and physically engaging and interacting with it. Intended to raise awareness of the phenomenon of noise pollution, the project was reimagined as part of the AHRC-funded p_ART_icipate research project on the effect of participatory online art on health and wellbeing. In this sense, KIMA: Noise not only raises awareness of the effect of noise on health, but also interrogates the effect of participatory art on wellbeing, and social connectedness.
The KIMA: Noise Map forms part of this research goal exploring the function of digital, online art interventions in fostering social connectedness. The KIMA: Noise Map is an online interface for global users to concurrently interconnect and stream their noise-scapes from all around the globe. Participatory and playfully, any participant can draw their own sound-walks, interactive sound trajectories created as digital drawing, while listening to ambisonic sound streams that are responding in real-time. Within the context of the p_ART_icipate project, led by the University of Greenwich, CNWL NHS Foundation Trust and Brunel University, KIMA: Noise case study looks at design, facilitation strategies of participatory art online, while highlighting the awareness building and impact generating potential of community based art forms. This paper looks at preeminent research in the field of noise, social sculpture, and arts participation, as well as introducing the KIMA: Noise project technically and conceptually.
