What: Exhibition: Sonic Constellations
When: 21 June- 27 June, 10am-6pm.
Where: RHB Room 2.107, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London, UK.

About the artwork: 'Sonic Constellations' is the sound installation of Tsai-Wei Chen’s PhD research. With 33-channel sounds and two large GIS maps, the work invites you to discover ten Taipei sojourners' listening experiences in London, which have been transformed into sonic geographies linking homeland and foreign land.
