ROZSZERZONA RZECZYWISTOŚĆ DŹWIĘKOWA
The foundation is led by experienced curators, animators and producers: Kasia Swietochowska and Michal Mendyk. Our activities are oriented towards redefining music and listening processes in the contemporary socio-technological context. We are preoccupied with explorations in the sphere of new media (technological projects implemented for the NOSPR); initiatives co-created with minority groups (the "Opera for the Deaf", which has been implemented for nearly 6 years); we are also interested in the history of sound art, experimental music and sound media. We have published three popular science books about the Polish Radio Experimental Studio ("The Black Room and Other Rooms," "Patkowski. Ambassador of Music from Mars" and "Birds and People. A Documentary Ballad about Eugeniusz Rudnik"), as well as more than a hundred phonographic releases of contemporary music as part of Bôłt Records label.
