  When I Go Home, I Cut Through
  Summary

  When I Go Home, I Cut Through is a 32-channel video installation and synchronisation system that reveals fragments of video captured in Tallaght juxtaposed with captions composed of extracts from the book Step by Step: Everyday Walks in a French Urban Housing Project published by the urban sociologist Jean-François Augoyard in 1979. The arrangement of the image shifts different portions of video out of line with their true position within the frame, resulting in a signal-space in which changes in light and distributed motion emerge via an otherwise disparate subject. This work was acquired for the permanent collection of the Arts Council of Ireland in 2019.

  Sound-Frameworks: Collaborative Frameworks for Integrating Sound Within Urban Design and Planning Processes
  Summary

  Sound-Frameworks is an action-led research project that explores how to introduce critical considerations of sonic experience within the design of the public realm. Sound-Frameworks enacts a discursive space to accelerate dialogue between artists, architects and urban designers and to advance an understanding of how sound and listening can influence the design of urban territories. Hosted by Theatrum Mundi (UK), Sound-Frameworks is supported by partnerships with Arup (UK), UrbanIdentity (CH), Struer Kommune (DK), the University of Oxford Faculty of Music (UK) and the Sound Studies Lab at the University of Copenhagen (DK). This project received funding from the European Union"s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 101032632.
