Audio Placebo Plaza (Julia E. Dyck, Erin Gee, Vivian Li)

Audio Placebo Plaza (APP)

is focused on the expansion of intersectional feminist methods of care, emotional labor, collaboration, and community in sound art. APP considers "placebo" as a complex, open-ended, and optimistic conceptual framework for work that embraces irony, play, and co-performativity in psychosomatic sound art. Through performance and interactivity, APP engages with community members to discuss these topics.
