A Dove is a Pigeon is a Dove by Dylan Marx

12 ECHOES

A Dove is a Pigeon is a Dove is speculative documentation of a pigeon's stroll through Golden Gate Park, a place that once had several pigeons but now has very few. Starting on the sidewalk in the Richmond District and ending on the sidewalk in the Inner Sunset, the walk is made up of sounds recorded on site from a late summer day. Each recording is a 1-5 minute looped audio documentation of the space recorded at pigeon height. As the participant walks along, the sound of the recordings will mix with the live sounds of the walk, juxtaposing memory with the present day. In addition to the sounds, every other space contains a musing on the rock dove, as well as on the concept of infrasound, a tool the birds use to navigate their environments. Participants are invited to reflect on their own experiences with Golden Gate Park, as well as their relationship to the common pigeon.

Soundwave NEXT explores space and time through TRANSLOCALITY The unfolding global pandemic has triggered an existential reckoning over our conceptions of place and human encounter. The escalating political, economic, environmental, and public health crisis has revealed a tenuous, yet insistent desire for connectivity across space and time. Translocality seeks to unite human and nonhuman communities in the Bay Area socially, physically, and sonically as a living network of sentient beings. This open call invites applicants to propose soundscapes to activate sound art in Bay Area locations to: • Recalibrate our sensitivity to living realities existing beyond the individual self • Connect us to the complex weaving of stories, histories, and ecologies of place • Investigate vestiges of memory materialized through objects, land, and architecture • Imagine future possibilities for collective transformation in the SF Bay Area As part of Soundwave’s continued commitment to support artists from underrepresented communities, we will prioritize BIPOC, LGBTQI, and disabled artists. Acknowledging the disproportionate effect the pandemic has had on marginalized communities, our goal is to provide support for works that use creative expression for collective liberation.
