Flipchart: Texture of Sonic Stories
7 March - iii workspace, The Hague
€6-20
Flipchart stages artworks at the most exciting moment, before works are finished and presented at larger venues. Come with a sharp eye, careful ears and expect the unexpected!
This Flipchart brings you to the heart of sonic storytelling; with an AR installation experience that brings us closer to the disappearing life of a glacier, titled “De glace et d’eau ” (Robin Koek and Jean-Emmanuel Rosnet); an experimental live DJ set that investigates textures of sound and where each vinyl contains the tension of the next needle drop (Vincent Nolden) and finally a performative lecture about permafrost and icy landscapes, titled “An Archive of the Arctic Echoes” (Sarah Damai Hoogman).
“A warm welcome to an evening full of abstract sonic stories that will lead us into the different textures of audible landscapes.“
Robin Koek and Jean-Emmanuel Rosnet
Jean-Emmanuel Rosnet‘s practice revolves around musical composition and sound creation in all its forms. He draws on the techniques of ‘sound collage’ and the precepts of improvised music to create multi-layered landscapes. His artistic research focuses on orality and the collection of sound traces specific to a territory.
Robin Koek is a sound artist and designer who explores listening as a form of more-than-human empathy and collective imagination. He creates large-scale interactive installations and spatial compositions that transform studio practices into immersive public experiences.
De glace et d’eau
During their residency, they will work on the development of their upcoming installation De glace et d’eau – a sonic ecofiction which reflects on the decay of glacial landscapes, mediated through an audio augmented reality experience. During the residency, they focused on the creative development within the exhibition space for this sonic form of storytelling, for example, wearables and furniture.
Vincent Nolden plays various wind instruments, his melodies strive to balance meditative spheres with raw expression. He finds inspiration in various collaborations and connections with his human and non-human environment. His roots in community, music therapy and creative curiosity give his work a sense of childlike play as well as deep healing.

With this project, Vincent explores his love for vinyl records and textural improvisation. While experimenting with his DJ setup and mixing records, he added various effect pedals. The resulting sounds inspired him to approach the records more as a sound source for processing and live sampling. Every session is a unique improvisation based on the tactility of vinyl and the constant unpredictability of the next needle drop.
In her work, Sarah Damai Hoogman explores the relationship between technology, science, nature and art. Driven by a fascination with ecological change, she translates complex natural phenomena to a human scale, offering new perspectives on processes that often remain invisible. At the intersection of sound art and ecological field research, she develops installations that enhance sensory perception and invite reflection on our relationship with the environment.
An Archive of the Arctic Echoes
“In June 2024, I went on a residency to Spitsbergen to conduct research into methane emissions resulting from the thawing of the permafrost. My research was documented with sound recordings of methane bubbles, maps of the research area, infrared photographs and meltwater samples. These materials and insights form the archive of my research and residency, which became the basis for An Archive of the Arctic Echoes.”
