Sound Memories: A Global Dialogue on Preserving Memory Through Sound

June 6 @ 5:45 pm - 8:45 pm

Focused on the theme of “Sound Memories,” Swissnex in San Francisco is curating a hybrid event together with Swissnex in China exploring questions surrounding the cultural preservation and ‘revival’ of sound-related objects through audio visualization and other design approaches. With a focus on using technology to create an immersive and engaging experience, the artist talk aims to explore the new digital approaches to museum collections conservation and diffusion in the digital age, creating global accessibility and visibility for design and art.

  • In the US, artists Asma Kazmi and Jill Miller are reimagining the “Electronic Memory – Model 80-1” from the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich (MfGZ) design collection.
  • In China, Yude Li is transforming the sound of Joachim Tielke’s Viola da Gamba from the decorative arts collection into audiovisual patterns inspired by the Dunhuang murals.

Join us for this unique opportunity to engage directly with artists and designers envisioning the future of sound preservation. Bring your curiosity, ask questions, and take part in a global dialogue on how technology is breathing new life into historical sound memories.   ​​​​
