Landscapes/Soundscapes is an audiovisual exhibition that explores connections between urbanism and music. It features a series of visual artworks and musical compositions, emerging from a process of mutual inspiration between the creators: artist-urbanist Jacopo Grilli and composer-researcher Amit Gur.

Building on Gur’s Ph.D. thesis on visual–auditory analogies and on Grilli’s artistic inquiry into urbanism, the artists investigated notions shared by urbanism and music, such as texture, line, object, composition and harmony.

To make these notions tangible, the exhibition approaches urbanism not only as a design discipline, but as a visual experience – a way in which a city imprints itself on the eye. The visual experience is primarily spatial, whereas musical organization unfolds over time. Hence the dialogue between the two fields centers on the analogies between spatial and temporal organization.
