Liquid Architecture has collaborated on the excellent project - You Can’t Trust Music - developed by curator Xenia Benivolski in partnership with e-flux.

Tessa Laird’s essay Locating Echoes attempts to bridge the existential void that separates us from bats. It is presented alongside video works by Liang Luscombe and audio compositions created using bat samples by Joel Stern. Responding to Nagel’s 1974 text What is it like to be a bat? Laird writes “I fling myself across the abyss of species difference. I am a bat, imitating a human, imitating a bat.”

You Can’t Trust Music (YCTM) presented by e-flux is a research project connecting sound-based artists, musicians, writers, composers, and writers and exploring the way that landscape, acoustics, and musical thought contribute to the formation of social and political structures. It is presented on a platform designed by Knoth&Renner and developed by Knoth&Renner with Jonas Holfeld.

YCTM on e-flux.com is made possible with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts. It is produced by e-flux and developed in partnership with M WOODS, NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC), Liquid Architecture, Kunsthall Trondheim, Art Gallery of York University, and Infrasonica. This chapter owes special thanks to Jayne Wilkinson, Robert Steenkamer, Kurt Newman and Jennifer Papararo.

YCTM is curated by Xenia Benivolski.
