Media changes the public spaces we inhabit, opening—and sometimes closing—channels for daily living and civic engagement. The projects in this exhibition invite visitors to investigate the relationship between media and public space. Presented by the Department of Media Studies and Film at The New School.

Sonic Channels is an electro-acoustic concert that features a wide range of recorded works and live performances (instrumental and dance) by sound artists and composers from around the world. The pieces, which are curated from an international open call for works by composer Melissa Grey and sound artist Jim Briggs, provide an additional layer of meaning to the exhibition Channels: New Media Publics by responding to sub-themes of how public and semi-public spaces are perceived, mapped, constructed, deconstructed and theorized through the filters of media.
