Azimuth, the Ecology of an Ear - fifteen attempts to locate and rend the human/non-human ear into holes, to isolate and study its forms and natures outside of their conventional relations. It asks, what is the ear; where is the ear; who is the ear; what are we to our ears; are we listeners or listening; does the ear hear?

Azimuth, the Ecology of an Ear, edited and curated by Patrick Farmer, Sonic Art Research Unit, 2019.

Azimuth, the ecology of an ear, is a new book by Patrick Farmer in collaboration with twenty three other artists. Azimuth… revolves around fifteen attempts to locate and rend the human/non-human ear into holes, to isolate and study its forms and natures outside of their conventional relations. It asks, what is the ear; where is the ear; who is the ear; what are we to our ears; are we listeners or listening; does the ear hear? It considers the ear as interlocutor, as equivalence, as sycope, as eros (hear us).
