We heard the Mediterranean Cicada orni in six locations across Slovakia. Could this be the sound of the climate crisis? We invite you to cultivate sonic sensitivity, to delight in the subtleties of sound, and to listen to the Loud New World.
Students of the Department of Intermedia at AFAD and Fero Király SK

Students of the Department of Intermedia at AFAD form a random group of individuals who enrolled in the course SOUND III in the winter semester of 2025/2026 and thus unexpectedly found themselves tasked with creating a sound installation.

Fero Király has been collaborating with the Department of Intermedia at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (AFAD) since 2021. His teaching focuses on sound-related subjects divided into four parts. SOUND III is dedicated to experimenting with the nature of various speakers, microphones, and DIY amplifiers. He studied piano performance and electroacoustic music. His practice centers on interdisciplinary projects addressing ecological and social themes, extending into performance, sound art, installation, and contemporary music interpretation.

Finding the Waves

An interactive sound installation of elementary waveforms encoding the index of patterns once used for sewing shoes in the factory.

Sensing sensing, leaves are waving, waves are parting, times are changing. Can you stitch it, reconnect it and find the waves your shoes are making, stitch to the ground to change your heading, change your mind and then forget it.

The úúú series is part of the project Power of Sound, which is included in Trenčín 2026. Trenčín 2026 is financially supported by the City of Trenčín, the Trenčín Self-Governing Region, and the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. In partnership with the European Union.
