A SWEEP is a sine tone, conti­nous­ly in­creas­ing within the hu­man hear­ing range, start­ing at 20Hz go­ing up to 20kHz. Sim­i­lary to the os­cil­la­tion of this kind of test sig­nal, the fo­cus of the SWEEP sym­po­si­um is dy­nam­ic. Thus SWEEP is high­light­ing ar­eas of the arts and sci­ences of sound, of the „le­ga­cies“ ac­cord­ing to Blu­men­berg and the pres­ence of sound re­search. In the course of the two-days event, the ques­tion of how trans­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tions im­pact on the pro­cess of re­search, artis­tic work and the meth­ods in-be­tween is of par­tic­u­lar in­ter­est.

In the past, the Uni­ver­si­ty of Kas­sel has con­tribut­ed to sound re­search as a field, with the work of ur­ban­ist and so­ci­ol­o­gist Detlev Ipsen, who in­vesti­gat­ed sound char­ac­teris­tics of spaces and places. Ipsen al­so ini­ti­at­ed a num­ber of in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary con­fer­ences, among them "Klang­wege" in 1991, that was ded­i­cat­ed to the sound walk, as an acous­tic deri­va­tion of the fa­mous strol­lol­o­gy (Sapzier­gangswis­sen­schaft) by Lu­cius Burkhardt, who al­so worked here.

Within the SWEEP Sound Re­search Sym­po­si­um, artists, re­search­ers and teach­ers from five coun­tries and of nine uni­ver­si­ties, Fo­cus­es will pre­sent their con­tri­bu­tions to the fields of Crit­i­cal Anal­y­sis as well as emipir­i­cal re­search, re­search de­sign in se­lect­ed en­vi­ron­ments and in the field of Artis­tic Re­search.

The Sym­po­si­um is a joint event of the BAU KUNST ERFIN­D­EN Re­search Plat­form of the ASL, School of Ar­chi­tec­ture, Ur­ban Plan­n­ing and Land­s­cape Ar­chi­tec­ture at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Kas­sel, and the School of Me­dia and In­for­ma­tion at Of­fen­burg Uni­ver­si­ty of Ap­plied Sci­ences.
