"Sonoric Perspectives – Sonoric Ecologies" is the title of an exhibition presented by the Nordic Embassies in the Felleshus from 10 January to 9 February 2008. The exhibition features Sound Art, a form of art installation in which music, noises and sometimes even silence play an essential role.

Since 2004, the Baltic Sea Biennial of Sound Art has been documenting and illuminating developments taking place internationally in Sound Art. "Sonoric Perspectives - Sonoric Ecologies" features highlights of the 2006 biennial exhibition and offers a preview of the upcoming 2008 Baltic Sea Biennial.

"Sonoric Perspectives" showcases an extensive collection of Sound Art installations from the last thirty years, brought together in this retrospective exhibition for the first time.Projects carried out by high school students in Rostock, Stralsund and Ystad in 2006 are also documented.The students’ aim was to learn and practice the fundamental techniques involved in this artistic genre, which spans art, music and acoustic research. From different vantage points the students experienced and described the acoustic environs of their routes to school, indoor rooms and regional events.Public space and the noises hidden within it are experienced as the source material of Sound Art."Sonoric Perspectives" invites visitors to the Nordic Embassies to consciously experience noises and experiment with them playfully and artistically.

A preview of the summer programme 2008, "Sonoric Ecologies", shows works dealing with ecological issues through the medium of Sound Art.
