There’s so many interesting things going on in the world of audio and I can’t wait to dive into them.
We’ll also have our usual space for sharing and updates on AWA projects including an upcoming book!

Australian Walking Artists (AWA) is an informal, growing network of artists and creatives who love to walk in and explore urban, suburban and rural environments. AWA is exploring what walking art is, as it’s not one thing. For some, walking is part of the creative process — a way of generating art. For others, it is an experience or form of art. Members have not defined walking art, allowing artists to self-identify with the practice. Walking art will mean different things to different people.

If you would like to join, email [email protected] for monthly chat, newsletter and more, and be part of building this dynamic network.

Heart Maps, Down the Line: An Ambulatory Audio Adventure

A unique ambulatory audio experience across two hours took people on a sound walk around the seaside town of Apollo Bay, on Gadubanud Country led by an imagined radio show hosted by project creators Amy Tsilemanis and traditional owner Richard Collopy. Participants were then transported to a theatrical scene on the beach, extending the stories heard in the audio then walked across the Great Ocean Road and into the Apollo Bay museum where a further soundscape and live singing in Indigenous language completed the experience: an exploration of how we connect with places and with each other, across the past present and future.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
