Will it still be a fair hearing when nobody is listening?
'Aural Contract' is an ongoing research project by artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan that examines the politics of listening by focusing on the role of the voice in law. Commissioned by Casco, the project evolves further with the production of an audio documentary entitled 'The Whole Truth' and a set of maps titled 'Dispersed Phonemes'. Both question the changing role of testimony in the face of new immigration policies, emerging technologies and sciences.

At Casco, these two works form an installation that also includes a new – “voice activated” – version of the project's extensive audio archive. This archive contains audio extracts of Abu Hamdan's past works and particular moments of juridical listening and speaking gathered from a wide range of sources such as the trials of Saddam Hussein and Judas Priest, UK police evidence tapes, films like Decoder and readings from texts including Italo Calvino's 'A King Listens'. The presentation features a high-end Bosch audio system that is also used in the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Just as the law requires you to speak and vocally testify, so does 'Aural Contract: The Whole Truth', while it also involves you in an active listening process.
