In order to capture my experience at Western Front visually, I thought back to what kind of sensory memories and events stood out to me most. There were always a lot of sounds, and music, playing in the downstairs space and also being performed in the Luxe hall upstairs, as well as the audio that Gabi Dao was putting together in the studio. I spent hours listening to the unedited versions of her podcast with Discorder, transcribing the discussion while also listening in on the points they were discussing about Vancouvers Art and Music community. The Western Front was always buzzing with a vibrant soundscape of new media art and conversation. The Western Front is a place of inclusivity and curiosity, hence I felt that the ears not only described the soundscape, but also conveyed how listening is one of the most important things Western Front does. The curators, and entire team there, do a great job at hosting and listening to new discussions, and ideas by emerging artists, as well as helping these ideas be put into reality.
