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.

We have presented our project at the French Cultural Center in Helsinki. The semi-serious picture here shows a work-in-progress representation of the global mediascape. David Zerbib of Paris I University commented about Michel de Certeau and the distinction place/space.
