Peter Hofer MRSS

Peter Hofer is an artist and lecturer. His current sculptural practice involves the development of interactive sonic installations in public spaces within both urban and rural environments, with the intention of altering perceptions of a given space’s presumed “soundscape”. In this work, sounds that are imperceptible to human hearing are extracted and amplified, whilst those that have a contextual relation to a specific space are inserted into the aural frame. The immediacy and urgency of these works are planned so as to create a sonic tension, challenging our conceptions of architectural and natural territories.
