The Unfamiliar City in Christina Kubisch’s Five Electrical Walks

This paper analyzes Christina Kubisch's Five Electrical Walks, a sound art piece where participants use special headphones to hear electromagnetic waves from urban electric sources. It explores the work’s dual revelation of the city as both an unexpectedly musical organic system and an alien, inorganic soundscape, accompanied by an audio presentation featuring guided walks and synthesized sound examples in multiple languages.

A Conversation for Robot and Fly is a three-movement sound work combining field recordings from rural Leicestershire, overheard conversations, and sounds from the Birmingham School of Art building. This version is presented as a geolocated sound piece accessible via the Echoes App at the original site on Margaret Street, Birmingham.

A Conversation for Robot and Fly is a sound-work in three movements. Using sounds collected on walks in rural Leicestershire, combined with snippets overheard conversations, and the sounds of the living, breathing art school building, the work has taken many forms and connects many places. This iteration sees the work re-installed as a geolocated sound file at its original site, Birmingham School of Art, Margret Street Birmingham (UK).
The work is hosted via the Echoes App and is triggered as you approach the Birmingham School of Art from New Street Station or equivalent distance from any direction.
