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.
• A walk with Kazantzakis
A performative soundwalk in Athens featured actors interpreting Kazantzakis' *Report to Greco*, carrying traces of sand through the historic city while walkers used Bluetooth speakers triggered by specific locations. Directed by Geert Vermeire and Sissy Papathanassiou, the experience combined live performance with soundscapes by Stefaan van Biesen to evoke the world and time of El Greco.
• Resounding Cities (Athens, Lisbon, Brussels)
Resounding Cities was a collaborative project examining urban rituals through workshops in Athens, Brussels, and Lisbon, resulting in sound maps and sound walks. The project involved international contributions and culminated in an interactive audiovisual map and a collective sound walk presented at the 2015 Athens Science Festival.
• 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."

• Urban Emptiness was an interdisciplinary investigation of soundscapes, silence and emptiness in Limassol, Cyprus and a parallel project to related actions in various cities such as Athens, Edinburgh, Brussels and New York which all form part of the international network Urban Emptiness.
As a sound walk project it focused on the importance of real and imaginary/hidden landscapes and soundscapes in the urban environment of Limassol – Cyprus exploring different conditions of intimacy within new understandings. Through actions which involved various methodological strategies, the outcomes contribute to the discourse pivoting around the value of an experiential/performative understanding of silence and emptiness in urban life. The core of the project consisted of open workshops where participants were introduced to open access locative media software platforms (noTours, CGeomap, Echoes, Aris, Locosonic) to create site-specific and interactive media walks. Participants were invited to examine and create geolocated narratives based on different layers and experiences of the living environment and were encouraged to explore the creative use of mobile devices and the possibilities of locative media as an artist’s tool.
As result of the project a series sound walks for mobile devices were presented to the public of Limassol by following contributors/artists:
Elena Pillakouri, Evdokia Georgiou, Maria Andreou, the Mind the Gap collective, Geert Vermeire and Yiannis Colakides and of students of Cyprus University of Technology Limassol, Faculty of Communication and Media Studies (led by Dr Angeliki Gazi & Dr Yiannis Christidis), the University of the Aegean, Department of Cultural Technology and Communication (led by Dr Nikos Bubaris), the Parsons New School of Design, New York (led by Dr Lydia Matthews), Drama School of the Athens Conservatoire (led by Adonis Volanakis), RITCS School of Arts – Radio Dept Brussels (led by Dr Guy Debievre), National Technical University of Athens – School of Architecture (led by Dr Georgios Parmenidis, Dr Nelly Marda and Olga Ioannou), Edinburgh College of Arts – ESALA (led by Dr Christos Kakalis, Stella Mygdali).
