(Kraków-born, Stockholm-based) is a cross-disciplinary artist, designer, researcher, and soundwalker. His work brings historical, existential and critical dimensions to listening, recording and archiving practices and technologies in diverse contexts. Besides working with established archives and heritage, Smolicki develops alternate modes of documenting and mediating stories and signals from various sites, scales, and temporalities. His work is manifested through soundwalks, soundscape compositions, installations, multiple forms of writing, site-responsive performances and experimental archives. He has published, performed and exhibited internationally and recently co-founded the Walking Festival of Sound, a transdisciplinary event focusing on the creative and critical potential of walking through and listening to our everyday surroundings. Funded by the Swedish Research Council, he is currently an international postdoc researcher exploring the history and prospects of soundwalking and field recording practices from the perspective of arts and environmental humanities. He is also an affiliated postdoc at the Informatics and Media Hub for Digital Existence at Uppsala University where he explores artistic strategies for living with and against voice capturing technologies.
