Tool workshop/ Sounds, vibrations and echoes: strategies to listen and to resonate the city and its(s) stories(s) / ALTOS 7
As Olivier Mongin says cities are finite spaces that allow infinite paths. In acoustic terms, urban architecture “shapes” and gives a particular “color” to the many sound events that occur daily in public and private spaces. This workshop proposes strategies to distinguish how the components of the audible architecture of a city, a neighborhood or a particular public space have served not only to shape different cultural and artistic sound experiences, but also to shape political-historical events. How does Plaza de Mayo (agora of the Argentinean Nation) “sounds”? How did this place resonate with the chants of the working class on October 17, 1945 or of the middle classes with their pans in 2001? How does the architecture of Plaza de Mayo reconstructs these echoes in the present? Is it possible to relocate a public space acoustically in a museum?
