The End of Hearing
The End of Hearing is an experimental design project in science and fiction
by a London-based interdisciplinary designer, Marek Kultys.
Can we direct our future? In the age of overstimulation, should we rethink our senses?
Is silence today's scarce resource? ...or maybe the cost of our civilised progress?
Storytelling, short films, narrative objects and performance. I wish to confront you
my dear guestwith a future that may seem exciting, unsettling, even sinister...
