This workshop intensive with Gordon Monahan will uncover unique sonic properties of the natural and built environment that would normally go unnoticed. It is also a rare opportunity to work side by side with Monahan, a Canadian sound and media artist that has created many seminal works since the late 70’s and is a recipient of the Governor General’s prize for Media Arts.
