A duck’s quack doesn’t echo - neuroscientific and artistic examination of auditory perception

Annika Kahrs (born 1984) is an artist who lives and works in Hamburg and Berlin. Kahrs has a fascination for music and sound: whether she works with duettists, birds, giraffes or a twenty-two-piece orchestra, Kahrs’s projects often explore the potential of sound as a form of non-verbal communication. Kahrs has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including 5th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art (Greece); the Bienal Internacional de Curitiba (Brazil); Hybrid Art Festival (Moskau, Russia); Gropius Bau (Berlin, Germany); Flat Time House (London, England); 16th Lyon Biennale (Lyon, France), and many more.
 She has been awarded a number of prizes and scholarships including Villa Aurora, L.A., VILA SUL, Stiftung Kunstfonds or the George-Maciunas-Förderpreis. When we got to know each other in 2016, we realized that our topics are very similar while our approaches differ enormously. We are both interested in the different layers of perception, ranging from dreams to the perception of time, sound, music, hallucinations and language. As such, we have joined forces and present shared and distinct approaches of art and neuroscience in a lecture tour.
