Being Led By The Stars . . . Two Walking Practices in Dialogue Teri Rueb and Bill Gilbert Walking and sound have variously shaped the practices of Colorado and New Mexico-based artists Teri Rueb and Bill Gilbert. This Cafe event will feature both artists who will present a brief overview of their broader practice, speaking
Wanderers of Earth and Sky: Walking as Art in a Time of Crisis
In early 2023, we hosted Teri Rueb and Bill Gilbert for an online cafe, called Being led by the stars, in which they shared a powerful and poetic conversation about their practices, which both revolve around walking, not merely as movement, but as a way of knowing, resisting, and reconnecting, bringing together a global audience to explore how walking art engages with celestial rhythms, climate anxieties, and questions of embodiment in the Anthropocene
• +2 An Introduction to Soundscape Composition
This in-person course hosted by Open City Docs is for beginners looking to work creatively and develop their skills in field recording to produce their own soundscape composition. We will look at fundamental theoretical and conceptual debates in the area, the basics of field recording, acoustic ecology and soundwalking, how to get started with Reaper
Info session Reading Water – A Contemplative Ecology of the Rivers Nile and the Thames
An open info session for all interested to participate, and all others interested, to find out more about the project for young people in the UK and in Egypt, with locative storytelling, group ecological restoration and art projects, during COP27.

Barbara Lounder is a visual artist and educator living in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. She has a BFA from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, and an MFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD), where she now teaches. Barbara Lounder’s current art practice focuses on walking as a creative methodology. Her performative works engage members of the public in carefully designed walking activities, sometimes utilizing prosthetics such as walking sticks, stilts, backpacks, blindfolds, locative devices and portable digital projectors.

Five planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were known to the ancients. To the unaided eye, these planets appear starlike. However, the planets moved relative to the stars. For this reason they were called wandering stars. Our word “planet” comes from the Greek word planetes, meaning “wanderer.”

Wanderers is a responsive sound experience delivered via a mobile app that responds to the visitor’s movement as sensed by GPS. A complement to the Colorado Scale Model Solar System represented by plaques that extend from the Fiske Planetarium to Colorado Boulevard on the CU Boulder campus, Wanderers offers another mode of experiencing this model where visitors are free to explore the sonic, temporal and spatial dynamics of our Solar System as a responsive soundscape that extends in all directions from the Sun, located in front of the Fiske Planetarium.
The Solar System as a model conjures the image of spinning spheres marching around the Sun in a grand promenade, lined up as if in formation. Yet our more common experience of the Solar System is found in staring at a night sky, pondering the planets and constellations, or noting the rising and setting of the Sun as it carves its daily path, rendering us as tiny figures in a complex pattern of space and time. Wanderers invites the mobile listener to explore a sonification of the Solar System in which the relative mass and orbital period of the planets in our Solar System are expressed sonically, with each celestial body having its own “soundprint”. As the mobile listener wanders, and the sonified celestial bodies move at their relative orbital speeds, the participant hears a dynamic soundscape where the volume and direction of the sounds changes depending on the participant’s position and perspective. Participants may toggle sounds on/off using the right menu, and using the slider tools (bottom left icon) may alter parameters of the sonification including: speed of orbit, audio range: radius within which sounds can be heard, sound palette used, and heading.
