New Adventures in Sound Art

Video story about the current exhibit at NAISA which is the sound and sculpture installation ’By the Light of the Wild Within’ by Julia White. The artwork provides a sanctuary of calm and is a personal sonic journey around the wheel of the year. The immersive installation is an invitation to listen deeply - with both our ears and our hearts. Mystery sounds from other places and ‘wild cards’ are also woven in, offering an element of surprise.

The new installation by Julia White at NAISA is something you need to spend time with to listen and enter its dream-like world. In the latest episode of Making Waves radio show for WGXC 90.7-FM, Greene and Columbia County community radio we condensed the soundscapes from White's installation 'By the Light of the Wild Within' and mixed in recordings of Julia White talking about the dream work, listening and time in nature that is behind the sculptures she builds. For those who also enjoyed her artist talk at the opening, this radio show expands on the topics we discussed. The link below to substack provides the audio and a transcript of the show.
