The first broadcast in this second series features Alexandra Supper, Assistant Professor of Arts and Social Sciences, Technology & Society Studies, Maastricht University, who talks about ‘listening to the sonification community listening’. She will discuss the use, application, problems and scope of sonification, introducing us to the debates that are currently taking place within the international community of auditory display and their quest to establish sonification as a legitimate scientific method.

Further radio programmes will be broadcast on Resonance FM in 2017 documenting the third Network event; Listening to Language, Culture and Artefacts.

Full documentation and archives of the radio shows will also be made available on the LxD website.
