At its core, this publication offers a dialogue between sound‘s metaphysical and material dimensions. Each contribution delves into the affiliated phenomena of sound—its ability to resonate beyond the cochlear, its function as a cultural and emotional signifier, and its role in mediating complex political and social realities. The essays collectively navigate through historical in- spection, dialectical inquiry, and interdisciplinary approaches, shedding light on sound’s latent power to shape not just artistic output, but consciousness itself.
Together, these essays create a tapestry of sonic pos- sibilities, inviting readers to listen beyond the surface and engage with sound as a vital force in art and life. In navigating between the seen and the heard, the spoken and the felt, Latent Sonic Possibilities underscores the profound impact sound has on how we create, reflect, and ultimately, exist.
This Publication is accompanied by a

Ming Yuan, Mahya Ketabchi, Mary Bom Kahama, Mahmoud Tarek, Dong Hoon Gang, Zishi Han, Guy Ronen
