About

The Reanimation Research Institute (RRI) is an independent unit that uses sound-related artistic practices applied to a research field within human geography. 

The RRI investigates and experiments with the dynamics between humans and their surroundings as a product of a cultural (dis)integration process. The general stand is that of looking at the relation between human and surroundings as an animated relation, a relation based on usage, directed energy, extended corporeal functions etc., that gives a cultural auspice to our surroundings. Our goal is to investigate the nature of this relation. How is it created, maintained, dis- and reintegrated?

The RRI activities are inspired from animistic rituals and thinking, using sound as a medium to reveal life and behavioral characteristics within objects, spaces and systems. We encourage a strong outreach towards context, audience, situation and other immediate(d) plateaus.

The RRI is directed by Mads Bech Paluszewski-Hau, a soundartist, composer, cultural producer and musician with a master degree in Human Geography and Performance Design and a member of the Danish Composers Society. Since early 2000s he has been doing sound related art- and cultural projects. While formerly serving also as an independent urban planning consultant, since 2011 he has been focusing on artistic activities. In 2017 he took a long break to evaluate and condensate the essence of these activities.

Coming out of this, the RRI was founded in 2018.
