Listening to the other
"Listening to each other / Einander zuhören – Stadt – (Ge)Schichten was a collaborative sound project conducted simultaneously in Athens, Dresden, and Essen, involving researchers, sound artists, and collectives to explore the relationship between residents and their sonic environment. Using the open-source locative media platform noTours, the project created acoustic cartographies through soundwalks and sound maps, resulting in over 600 recordings and ten soundwalk areas in Athens that offer interactive, non-linear auditory experiences challenging conventional visual urban models."
