Guided Tours of the Exhibition “Wavematters”

How do sound, light, heat, and electromagnetic waves shape our everyday lives? The exhibition Wavematters. Attending to the Spectral. Bodies, Cities, Devices explores how invisible waves affect bodies, cities, and technological devices.

It builds on the ERC-funded research project WAVEMATTERS, Urban Vibrations: How Physical Waves Come to Matter in Contemporary Urbanism, at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

The five-year project, led by Ignacio Farías, investigates how physical waves shape urban life and how their effects are experienced in everyday life and negotiated within society.

Members of the WAVEMATTERS team offer insights into the exhibition and the research project behind it.
