Abstract:

Sound artist Halsey Burgund has set up a demonstration participatory audio installation for M&W. Based on his Scapes exhibit at the deCordova Sculpture Park outside Boston, this location-sensitive installation allows participants to wander around downtown Philadelphia while listening to (and influencing with their changing location) an evolving mixture of music and participant comments. Participants can 'tag' any location with audio comments which are immediately incorporated into the musical fabric for everyone to hear.

To give it a try, all you need to do is download the free 'Scapes' app from the App Store onto an iPhone, put on some headphones and walk around the city nearby the hotel where the system is activated. Scapes will be discussed as part of the "More Than Tours" workshop on Wednesday as well.
