Micah Silver’s work endeavors to create intersensory situations for processing relationships between technology, self, and community.
These efforts have taken form as artworks, writing, curatorial roles, and creative direction.
He’s the co-founder of Polytope, an audio scenography collective that consults with museums, exhibit designers, and architecture firms to bridge gaps in how listeners are considered in the design and construction of cultural spaces. since 2020 he directs BLACK HOLE, a listening space and archive based in Los Angeles from 2020-2024 and currently in Tokyo.
His book Figures in Air, repositioning audio as an affective AI is in its second printing with Inventory Press.
His “musical” compositions and installation works are not statements of human-emotional-realism, and instead use audio as an artifactual and time-making tool. They draw portals that martial emotion between treasured notions of good taste, autonomy, identity, ecstasy and discomfort.
