The Liminaut: Lost and Found in the Field
The Liminaut: Lost and Found in the Field

Summary/Abstract: Following a research project working with the concept of mountains in the age of the Anthropocene, this article takes on an experimental exercise in sonic thinking applied in the phenomenology of space. Instead of providing a reader with a concrete set of answers or methods, it presents processoriented insight into an emergence of a possible perspective on spatial research represented by the persona of liminaut. The liminaut strives to narrow down the epistemological gap between the subject and the studied space by thinking through media, and approaching space not as a disjointed object of inquiry but as an organic plane, which has a potential to co-form the researcher. The article at hand might be read both as a theoretical and practical adventure, as well as a foray into the deserts of the real, testing the limits of representation. As with any experimental approach, there may be more questions than answers ensuing—yet, following the relevant acoustic metaphor, the paper shall be read as a moment of acoustic inception, a sequence of noise from which a new kind of thinking emerges and spreads onwards.
