Simo Alitalo & Tuike Alitalo’s artistic practice involves sound art, installation, participatory performances, environmental art and writing. They create sound installations based on field recordings and work in the field of participatory art producing communal sound performances and listening walks. Their work often emerges from the basic question of acoustemology: what do we know about the world through sense of hearing, and how what we hear affects the way we understand the world. Through a partnership with the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York they are in residence at Triangle from December–February 2016–17.
