Sonic Futures
Sonic Futures took place from January 2020 to June 2021, run by the Science Museum Group and project partner, the University of Nottingham. The project aimed to deliver an interactive public engagement programme involving audiences in the creation of new approaches to curating sound technologies at the National Science and Media Museum. It aimed to put sound technologies on show by testing new kinds of audible exhibits and sound-making events. Three audience listening groups worked with creative practitioners at 'listening sessions' to create exhibits relating to objects from the Science Museum Group collection.
The outputs of this project are available to view and download here. Despite the museum’s best efforts, we are unable to make the PDF documents found within this collection fully screen reader accessible.

Item type:Report, Sonic Futures: Making Digital Exhibition Prototypes in the COVID era(2024)Mansell, JamesSonic Futures is an AHRC-funded engagement and impact project exploring listening at the National Science and Media Museum. The project tackles the problem of how to tell the story of sound technologies by working with audience listeners. Our listeners collaborate with artists to build and test new audible exhibits that take us into the sounds of the past. The question of how we listen to museum collections, and how we can build exhibits that help us to listen differently, is at the heart of our work. Following the temporary closure of the National Science and Media Museum in March 2020 due to COVID-19, the project moved online: we worked together through lockdown to create digital exhibits for computers and mobile phones. In November 2020 the participating artists came together to discuss the project and how it has shaped their practice and thinking about sound in museum collections. This report captures the transcription of the interview. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
