Description

How does the night sound in Prater? Does Praterstern trigger urban legends? Who is heard if you would stay approximately three hours at the same place? What is medially boosted? How do the marginalized interact? Who is an archive at Praterstern? How do you not get into a provocation at no point in time? Are the thieves actually the ones who we don't take them for? Two, one, zero - The alarm is red... It is 4:45 am, now position is rehearsed.*

The aim of the course is to develop a soundwork, generated from the materials (field recordings, interviews, archive) that have been collected in several on-site researches in the park, in the amusement park, at the train station and its forecourts.

Examination Modalities

The resulting works will be shown and discussed on Wednesday, 25/01/2017 at Fluc, Praterstern within the frame of the exhibition series »In der Kubatur des Kabinetts – Der Kunstsalon«.

Comments

The course could be held in German or English.

Requirements: Headphones, smartphone with audio recording app or an audio recording device
