Já postei e falei sobre o projeto Sonic City, que produz uma escrita sonora da cidade através de dispositivos móveis e localização.

Abaixo, no We Make Money Not Art, uma entrevista com Lalya Gaye, idealizadora desse projeto.
Trecho:
“Sonic City was my first project when I joined Viktoria in 2002. It was a collaboration among Ramia Mazé and Margot Jacobs at PLAY, Interactive Institute, and a very talented Swedish sound artist called Daniel Skoglund who used to be in the group 8Tunnel2. We ended the project in 2004 after having completed a final user study, so I am not working on it anymore. However, most of the projects I have worked on since then take further some of the concepts we explored in Sonic City: embodied uses of the everyday (everyday activities such as walking, everyday environments such as the street…) as a resource for aesthetic practices (music, photography, etc).
Although this project is now quite old, I think that what it touched upon is still very relevant today. The same way a lot of projects you write about in your blog do, it looked at how ubicomp can enrich our everyday life, help us appropriate public space and provide us with new means of being creative. And there is a growing community of people working with mobile music technology nowadays, which I am very excited about!”
