"About listening" is a research laboratory of phenomena related to the acoustic, performative and socio-political aspects of the listening act.

"About Listening (Or 14 interviews with 14 sound artists)" is a sound installation about listening. 14 speakers are distributed in an empty room. Each speaker reproduces different excerpts from 14 interviews made to 14 sound artists. The answers reflect diverse opinions when we speak about listening, sound, sound art or noise. This sound installation doesn't try to create any answer, it's not a choir, but just different voices talking about, listening.
