KABK Art & Design Research Practices
Listening: A Research Method in Art and Design
A video conversation with Femke Dekker (AKA Loma Doom), produced by KABK Design Lectorate, was released during 2023.
Design Lector Alice Twemlow visited Femke at Murmur in Amsterdam, a listening bar which offers a platform and space for sound practitioners and sonic enthusiasts to come together to listen to sound, noise and music.
We wanted to learn about the role of listening and the sonic in Femke's research and teaching. Punctuated by sonic samples from Femke's vinyl collection, the conversation touched on topics such as different ways of listening, embodiment of sound, how to teach listening and the appreciation of the sonic as a discipline in art education.
