A screen capture from Noise Complaints as Sonic Warfare, produced by Jessica Thompson and Anugra Shah as part of Borderline, a research-creation project that uses the mapping and analysis of urban sound to generate critical dialogues around inequality.

This map shows the spatial relationship between noise complaints categorized as ‘loud music and/or parties’ made in New York City in 2019, dominant racial group by US Census tract, and population density.

The Galt Presents... Jessica Thompson, a media artist working in sound, performance and mobile technologies. Map making is not always a neutral process, but is instead informed by existing power structures and social issues. Join Jessica Thompson in a discussion of her work with the Borderline Project and displaying the critical map making results from the Media Arts (Digital Sketchbook) workshop.
