This is the fourth of four additional audio pieces featuring people answering questions about health research.

Using Made By Mortals 'Hidden' programme, (www.madebymortals.org/hidden/) this additional audio piece features people answering the following question:

What does a good research process look like for Joanna/people like her?

'Hidden' is a collection of immersive case studies, brought to life through audio, film and live theatre shows. In each episode, you are invited to take a walk in another person's shoes and consider what you can do to help.

This additional audio piece is based on 'Joanna's Story,' which you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/user-814694698-171463065/hidden-joannas-story-1?si=fa7036a1f8ed4961b527f59639043fd4&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Simple recording of a complex music event for a large group of individual musicians and interactive audience

The playlist contains two documentations from two performance of "Listening Automat" at the HfKDM in Frankfurt for the Nacht der Neuen Music 2019. 


composition, concept and instructions: by David Helbich & Holly Gramazio 
set by Rosario Talevi

"Follow the instruction on the other side of this card, then exchange it for a new card or swap with another player. Play and listen for as long as you’d like."

Listening Automate is a contemporary sound&listening concept for preferably public spaces, where spread out musicians meet spontaneous audiences and random passer-byes. 
 
The work took place in

   - Frankfurt, Opernplatz/Alte Oper, Playsonic Festival, 2018 (with Ensemble Modern)
    - London, Somerset House, Now Play This festival, 2018
   -  Frankfurt, HfMDK, Neue Musik Nacht, 2019

 
The work is inspired by contemporary music, deep listening and game design.

It has mainly two aspects:

1. an improvisation concept for the musicians, consisting of a circular sonic movement (tones are send around in circles and are taken over from each other) and reactive sound and performance events.

2. a set of approx. 50 game cards that are given to passer-byes, bystanders and invited listeners. The audiences are invited to join "the game" with the tasks written on the cards or, in case they are done or don’t like them, exchange them with cards by others.

A visionary community leader and co-founder of Civic Square, Immy Kaur, joins us on this episode, to drive home some ground breaking thoughts on systemic transformation in our everyday living.
With deep insights drawn from over a decade of experience, Immy challenges conventional thinking about organizing at scale and highlights the urgent need to reimagine how we live, work, and relate to one another.
Touching on the power of unlearning assumptions about systems and authority, she simplifies it for us stating, "we as people build our systems and processes, and to change them, we don’t need permission."
Known for her ability to connect systemic thinking with tangible, participatory action, Immy Kaur helps us visualize how neighborhoods are a strategic site for change—"big enough and small enough" to demonstrate value creation, while fostering agency in communities.
In this episode, she explores critical themes like the fragility of existing systems, and why outdated economic models require a shift. Drawing from frameworks like Doughnut Economics, she unpacks how local, modular prototypes can demonstrate pathways toward systemic change.
She takes us through rethinking value and metrics beyond financial systems, prototyping of modular solutions to tackle systemic lock-ins and so much more.
Tune in and discover how we can reimagine everything through participatory systems to navigate the complex challenges of our times.


Key Highlights
👉 Neighborhoods are strategic sites for change as they are small enough to demonstrate deep systemic transformation while being large enough to inspire scalable solutions.
👉 Unlearning systems is the first step to fostering collective agency and unlocking new possibilities for civic innovation.
👉 Effective transformation requires balancing systemic redesign, practical action, and radical imagination.
👉 Material scarcity and ecological limits become opportunities for creativity, pushing us to innovate within planetary boundaries.
👉 Organizations and communities must rethink value, moving beyond financial metrics to embrace multi-capital approaches that prioritize social, environmental, and care-based economies.
👉 Genuine change involves shifting agency to communities, empowering them to co-lead their transitions and transformations.
👉 Modular, tangible prototypes can demonstrate what systemic alternatives look like, enabling practical steps toward change while inspiring imagination.

rare eye contact | bare improvisation
inter-be-ing is a performance exploring the interconnectedness of human identities. It examines the complex non-verbal exchanges in human relationships and provides room for a deeper mutual connection.
To allow the audience to take part in the composition, the musicians and the participants confront each other, sitting face to face. After holding eye contact for a while, the music emerges from the interpersonal exchange. All improvised!

Can we define new communication gateways that transcend language and analytical thinking? Can we process the personal, intellectual, emotional and even intimate information that we exchange during our interactions, through a medium that moves beyond our social conditioning? Can we finally learn to recognize the subtle connectedness of our human experiences and eventually come closer to each other?

These are the questions we are asking ourselves during the performance project “inter-be-ing”, trying to explore the boundaries of our individual identity in relation to that of others.

Boundaryless helps global customers with Business Strategy and Organization Design for the age of Ecosystems.
We do it by creating openly accessible frameworks and by supporting a community of organizations, institutions, and individuals through workshops, training, and consulting services. 

In this space we host all our audio recordings, including the Boundaryless Conversations podcast, a show focused on exploring the future of large scale organising by leveraging on technology, network effects and shaping narratives. We explore how platforms can help us play with a world in turmoil, change, and transformation: a world that is at the same time more interconnected and interdependent than ever but also more conflictual and rivalrous.
