Lecturer: Davide Tidoni

When: January 21-22, 2012

This workshop is an investigation into the social and acoustic affordances of sound in public spaces. We will spend two days exploring the city of Amsterdam through the practice of Soundstorming, a direct exploratory method for fast prototyping of outdoor sonic interventions.
