Sound mapping
|
"Streetscape", by Japanese artist Iori Nakai, is a plastic map with the sounds of the city "attached" to it. When tracing over the city's white map with a special pen, you can hear everyday noises that were recorded at that particular location: conversations, passing traffic, and all the ambient sounds that make a city.
The artist has produced many different versions of it, according to the city where he exhibits the work. |

That's beautiful. I think it would be interesting to have sounds out of context as well. Like a women's lingerie shop broadcast into a men's bathroom at a sports bar, or bahgdad into Cheney's office.
