Abstract:

The Urban Corridor explores the relationship between the public, visual and sonic stimuli, and space as a way of bringing to life the effect of the urban landscape on our day-to-day interactions. We describe the technical implementation and the conceptual implications of this installation by focusing on two issues: (1) the interactions between visual and musical processes, time and space, context and materials, and the role of the public in the piece, and (2) the accumulation of elements as a means of sonic organization and transformation.
