MEG Alumni Event 2017
Attention all MEG Alumni!
Remember the excitement you felt in the first few weeks of the MEG? New faces, new topics, new challenges… It’s time to bring back that positive energy at the MEG Alumni Event!
This year our Annual Event is March 10th - 12th, 2017 in Freiburg.
The Program:
- Fri 18:00 @ Feierling: Meet up for food & drinks
- Sat 9:45-17:30 @ Herderbau: Together we will create the “Sound(s) of Polarity”(*)
- Sun 10:30 @ Schwabentor: Hike to St. Ortilien
(*) In the "Sound(s) of Polarity", facilitated by Luís Vieira and Friederike Gezork, we will first explore the act of listening as part of our experience, our communication and perception of our surroundings. By listening to the environment, we will figure out which sounds are present, how they have changed over time and how humans have had an impact on the soundscape. We will then experiment with creating rhythms and sounds ourselves and use tools to listen and record to the polarity around us.
