Sinebrychoff Park 2.0

September 30 & 31, 2008 - Sinebrychoff Park - Helsinki, Finland

Acoustic inquiry of the well-being of the community ecosystem of Sinebrychoff park

Sinebrychoff park 2.0 is a study of the relations between the soundscape of Sinebrychoff park in Helsinki and the mapping of the global mediascape as we know it. We invite the visitors of Sinebrychoff park to participate in an acoustic inquiry. Equipped with devices that enhance one's hearing, they can uncover a sonic universe that normally rests unnoticed, while filling our inspection form.

As we did in the previous performance in Les Lilas, we discretely placed sound sources and some actors to alter the soundscape of the park. Actors were playing spam, googlebot surveillance, amazon-like talking, ad words, nigerian scam, facebook friend-dropping etc.

Inspection acoustique et surveillance narrative du bien-être de l'écosystème communautaire du Parc Lucie Aubrac

June 7 & 8, 2008, Parc Lucie Aubrac - Les Lilas, France


"Nous proposons aux flâneurs du Parc Lucie Aubrac aux Lilas de participer à une enquête sonore. Munis d'oreillettes amplificatrices, ils pourront découvrir un univers acoustique qui reste en général inaperçu. Dans le cadre de l'amélioration de la transparence et du bien-être communautaire, les résultats de leurs formulaires d'inspection seront diffusés et exposés en tant qu'oeuvre de collaboration."


We invited the visitors of the park to participate in an acoustic inquiry. We equipped them with devices that enhance one's hearing (Spyears), so that they could uncover a sonic universe that normally rests unnoticed. However, for things to become more interesting, we had placed strange sound sources and hired some actors whose roles were to slightly distort the usually quiet atmosphere of the park. Nobody noticed that everything was fake. Of course many people were puzzled by the weirdness of the soundscape they were discovering.
