The silent cypher (which cannot be voiced) will help us to unbraid the platform. >The subtle influence of poetic allusion >The content/user >generative confusion We will explore what sociality sounds, tastes, smells and feels like through a [mediated feed](https://www.instagram.com/liquid\_architecture/); and ask for responses in the form of analogue or digital field works. Signal and noise are collectively constructed to be attenuated and exchanged, highlighted and re-wired. >Hear we can >the dumb luck >of happy accidents Through gamified logics of participation, this on-and-offline workshop attends to how voice is shaped and distributed across platforms and within social fields. >When moot points become >mute points it points back to forced silence. >Is the direction of noise a signal to violence?

Course Overview: Living the life of digital DNA, Aphonic Exchange is an experimental workshop, a form of ‘insta grammar’ or ‘exquisite corpus’, an infer-sound-image platform for facilimaking and gifting your presence in mindful risk taking led by Roseanne Bartley @roseannebartley and Ceri Hann @puppetshowdown This eight day modular online workshop is orchestrated via a series of prompts or scores here through our instagram. Participate through sharing your infer-sound-images and tagging @liquid_architecture and #aphonicexchange to feature in LA's stories. Doing as a form of thinking. Making as a form of knowing. Exercise 1: Coarse Outline. Sharpen your pencils, today we render sketchy onomatopoeia definitions. Image a word that ‘sounds like it represents’, then draw out the sound with a sonic aura. Exercise 2: Stationary Moves With a blank page and an open mind, in touch with your fingers and sounds yet defined. Feel for the words that might be trapped at this stage, bound to make sense of an invisible cage. Here your stationary moves, break grammatical law, enveloped by silence, as we need not think more. Infer-sound you have found with the radar of play through the eye of your phone the instagram way, tag #aphonicexchange Exercise 3: Sonic Shadow Play The capital of fences, corralling consensus, hoarding territory, coast to coast. Downplay the lack of gaps in the fence. Tap to rail against the nonsense. With a visual sounding of our ring fence surrounding, adjust between us, the common ground of patch work posts. Exercise 4: Zoomorphic Sounds like text, write out of context. The mind’s [h]ear Peer to peer When the focal is local the vocal is clear. Images speak, alarm and calm. Life forms around sound but the text form is farming. Tune in and pitch escape Post/text Exercise 5: Sounding Mimicry Sound fx you hear? Sound affects, you see? To think aloud, if thinking allowed, soften and too subtle, for the digital crowd. Mimic the foley as you track the life of sound. Otherwise post production tricks Exercise 6: Sound Walk Make the time to take your ears for a walk stroll without scrolling step back to move forward Break silence on this path of learning Track the sounding of your sonic surrounding post walk Exercise 7: An Exercise In Exercise Push back on the push to consume to make more space to make more room Take the time listen, to the rumbling of volume Walk it around the block unblock the creative way wheeling a wheelie bin post your sense of play Exercise 8: It's Not You It's Meme Here text and context, pretend to contend. Where (we hear) of course, this course must come to an end eight provocations speak in audible consideration preparing the ground to infer-sound collaboration. Time may tell, what the insta story means through a viral appearance, an echo of memes #aphonicexchange --- [-un-ear-thing-](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/un-ear-thing) is a new initiative extending Liquid Architecture’s work with experimental education and pedagogy.
