Perception – Schwendermarkt, Vienna

At this time we focused on markets as places of everyday encounter, communication and exchange of goods and commodities.

Perception & Contact: A Site-Specific-Workshop at Karl-Marx-Hof. Not about Red Vienna, but…

According to the recipe, you need a group of students – the more international the better – doing spatial studies, especially urban orientated design, planning or managing background, make them listen to short but suggestive audio-pictoral narrations with their player and earphones in a public space: about everyday city soundscapes and citizen thought-crumbs, and wait. 
If you see absorbed, sun bathing faces, suddenly reversing movements and slight smiles or strolling then decisive steps – you could reach the bottleneck point (Image 1)[1]. Which you undertook in order to widen, to increase the rate of different frequencies, for sensing on a broader spectrum: the city surplus.

Tuned City Brussels 2013

“Each day of the proceedings will be focused around a central theme with the
following provisional titles: Relational Noise Situational Listening
Operative Ambience. Tuned City is a project researching relations between sound and space in the urban context. The first edition was in Berlin in 2008 and then in Tallinn
and Nürnberg. Q-O2 workspace has invited Tuned City in 2013 to create a
Brussels edition of this event. Tuned City presents artistic work and
theoretical approaches derived from critical preoccupations with sound in
the context of urban and architectonic situations with particular emphasis
on innovative approaches to notions of ’sound’ and ‘listening’.”
