Sound walk

Since 2010, the port area of Rio de Janeiro has undergone accelerated structural and architectural changes that also transformed the use of public spaces. The Port Sounds (Sons do Porto) project was born in order to accompany these changes, focusing on the sound aspect.
The sound is an important variant of the urban experience that can give clues about how people relate to the city. Space and sound have intimate relationships. The sound creates territories and itself is also modified by cultural manifestations, social and physical place.

flakkari

“Icelandic culture is infused with stories of travel. When names were needed for modern machines, the technology that enables our imaginations to travel, words were chosen that centred on the quality of roaming. Thus the neologism for laptop is fartölva, formed from the verb far, meaning to migrate, and tölva – migrating computer’; its companion, the external hard drive, is a flakkari. The latter word can also mean ‘wanderer’ or ‘vagrant’. In the end it’s the wanderers we rely on.” From Nancy Campbell’s “The Library of Ice”.
