Students from the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) opened a new sound art exhibition titled "TRACKING _ wrrrrr, bzzzt, zzrrt" at the ((NYT)) Art Space in Berlin on May 23. The exhibition features sound installations by nine artists, including Trevor Kinna, Liisi Kõuhkna, and Olev Kuma, and explores sound as a carrier of relation, interference, and emancipation. A contemporary dance group, ADAM, performed the piece "Windy Days" at the opening.
The exhibition matters because it showcases the work of emerging artists from a spring semester program dedicated to sound art at EKA's New Media Department, highlighting the growing academic and artistic focus on sound as a medium. By embracing noise, silence, and feedback, the show challenges traditional notions of communication and listening, offering a fresh perspective on how sound can bind and unsettle across systems and environments.
