This project presents a simultaneous sound walk in the National Garden of Athens paired with an online map exploring embodied cognition through art and action, featuring texts by Will Kymlicka, Sue Donaldson, and others inspired by *Zoopolis*. Developed by the Research Group on Art and Embodied Cognition and accessible via CGeomap, the walk was part of the Analogio Festiva at the 48th Book Festival of Athens 2019.
• Urban Emptiness: sound walks in Limassol
Urban Emptiness was an interdisciplinary sound walk project in Limassol, Cyprus, exploring urban soundscapes, silence, and emptiness through workshops using locative media tools to create site-specific geolocated narratives. The project involved artists, researchers, and students from multiple international institutions and resulted in a series of mobile device sound walks presented publicly in Limassol.
• 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."
• Continuing the journey of the Tortoise and the spider
In 2017, Ros Bandt and Geert Vermeire created "The Tortoise and the Spider," a collaborative sound walk performance involving dancers connected by strings and portable speakers, forming a giant illuminated human harp played during a night walk starting at Parnassos Mountain in Delphi, Greece. The project's instruments traveled globally for performances integrating locative media, with the collaboration continuing through 2019 in locations including Athens, Vienna, and Melbourne.

Resounding Cities was a collaborative project which seeked to explore the concept and practices of urban rituals and the ways in they are imprinted on the sensory scape of the city. The artistic processes involved workshops in three cities – Athens, Brussels and Lisbon, and resulted in a sound map and sound walks in these cities.
As well a collaboration was established with an international network of visual artists, musicians and social scientists, who contributed with recordings from various others cities. The final workshop in Athens was conducted in active correspondence and exchange between the two parallel sound walk workshops in Lisbon (The Milena Principle / Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon) and in Brussels (The Milena Principle / School of Arts – RITS, Radio Department), curated by Geert Vermeire.
In order to exchange soundscapes and to actively discuss on the notion of urban rituals, we designed a blog constantly renewed with audiovisual material and an interactive, audiovisual map. Distant participants that contributed with sound and visual material were: Dzovinar Mikirditsian (Paris), Doris Hakim (Antwerp), Sinan Bokesoy (Istanbul) and Nikos Bubaris (Venice, Madrid).
A sound walk bringing the recordings of all participating cities together was realised with the open source locative media platform noTours and presented during the Arts & Science Exhibition at the Athens Science Festival and part of the exhibition Welcome to Ecumenopolis curated by METASITU in metamatic:taf, Athens 2015.
