"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.
