“Lawrence Abu Hamdan had to invent a term to define his profession He calls himself a “private ear”—a play on the detective term “private eye”—and his work indeed seems like something straight out of an episode of CSI The mission of this British investigator who stands halfway between activism and artistic creation is to uncover state environmental and human rights crimes using forensic acoustics He also uses his findings to raise public awareness through art installations exhibited in museums worldwide from MoMA to the Reina Sofía It has been ten years since he began his journey as an independent researcher and three years since he founded his own NGO Earshot.”
