Geo-located Audio Walk
Location: Westduinpark, The Hague, The Netherlands
Duration: ca. 45min

We will gather for a collective silent audio walk along the beach, while we walk through a narrated parallel sound world. The audio piece you will hear is composed from a mixture of synthetic and recorded environmental sounds. These sounds blend with the actual sounds of your surroundings and evoke curiosity and confusions which eventually emphasise and alter your perception of the place. 

This slightly surreal audio walk introduces you to my philosophy of Substanzraum, A new approach to Global Space, and the relations between space and matter on our planet, using the Westduinpark on the Coast of The Netherlands as a stage and a model space.
