[Bio c. 2012]
Rupert Cox is an anthropologist working in Japan carrying out research into questions of sensory knowledge and using art practices as a form of research. His current work is on the anthropology of sound, investigating questions about the politics of noise from the perspectives of acoustic science, sound studies and sound art. His most recent project ‘Air Pressure’ (2010 -) about the effects of aircraft noise resulted in a sound installation, sound-films and CD. His original research (2005-6) into sound matters arose from questions about the nature of Zen experience. Current research for 2012 and beyond uses sound recordings and film in investigating the idea of military aircraft sound as a ‘Sound of Freedom’ focusing on the effects on environment and health of aircraft noise generated from US military bases in Okinawa.
