Maiken Vibe Bauer selected for residency at Notam

In May, we announced an open call for our first residency collaboration with Notam. The selection committee chose Maiken Vibe Bauer, who will use her residency to further develop her work KOR FOR FUGLE.

Speaking about her plans for the residency, Bauer says:

“During the residency at NOTAM, I will further develop KOR FOR FUGLE, a multichannel sound work based on 33 years of bird counts from Copenhagen’s coastal areas and an archive of bird calls. I will explore how the slow ecological shifts made visible by the data can be experienced through sound, and how the tension between registration, categorisation, and the individual bird call itself can form a compositional and spatial structure.”

About Maiken Vibe Bauer

Maiken Vibe Bauer works with sound, listening and spatial formats. Through installations, compositions and site-specific projects, she explores relationships between materials, places, recordings, technologies and more-than-human life. Her work revolves around translations between the measurable and the perceptible, and how categories, infrastructures and technologies shape what can be sensed and known.

Her practice often develops through long-term research, fieldwork and interdisciplinary collaborations. She holds an MSc in Chemistry and a Master’s degree in Cultural Encounters and Studies of Language, with a focus on auditory culture.
