SubstanzWalk: Introduction to Substanzraum

room 20 ECHOES

Location: Westduinpark, Den Haag, South Holland 2566 DP, Netherlands

Alexander Johannes Heil SubstanzWalk - Introduction to Substanzraum Geo-located Audio Walk Location: Westduinpark, The Hague, The Netherlands Narration: Mabel Calvert Verbruggen Duration: ca. 45min 2020

This slightly surreal audio walk is composed with a mixture of synthetic and recorded environmental sounds. These sounds blend with the actual sounds of the environment and create confusion about their origin, which ultimately emphasises your attention to your surroundings. Narrated text fragments from my essay 'Substanzraum, A New Approach To Global Space', accompany this geo-located audio walk. https://alexanderjohannes.com/substanzraum-essay/

HOW TO WALK THIS SOUND WALK:

  1. Download the Walk beforehand! (oval button with indication of MB next to the 'STREAM WALK' button above this text) Even if you have a very good mobile data contract, the most uninterrupted experience is ensured when the sound walk is already downloaded to your Echoes app.

  2. Activate the 'Autoplay' function! When you click 'STREAM WALK' you access the walk. You will enter a map screen and at the top right hand is a 'hamburger menu' (the three horizontal stripes)! Click there and you will be presented with the 'Autoplay' option at exact that position on your screen.

  3. Use so-called 'open headphones'! Open headphones have the advantage that you can hear outside noises more easily and therefore offer better environmental awareness.

  4. If you hold a SubstanzWalk Map in your hand, please travel to Station Markenseplein, Den Haag, The Netherlands (Tram 12/Bus22) and enjoy the walk. If you are not already in possession of a SubstanzWalk Map, please download the printable map from the Stroom Den Haag website: https://www.stroom.nl/media/SubstanzWalkMap.pdf

Alexander Johannes Heil
Alexander Johannes Heil
Alexander Johannes Heil (born 1986 in Hamburg, Germany) received his B.Sc. in Architecture with a focus on architecture-theory and -design in 2017 at the Technical University Berlin and obtained his master's degree (M.Mus) in summer 2020 at the ArtScience Interfaculty (Royal Conservatory and Royal Academy of Art, The Hague). His work has recently been shown at the Royal Academy of Art The Hague, the Royal Conservatory The Hague, in group exhibitions in The Hague, and two solo exhibitions in Berlin (2017 and 2018). Currently he is exploring a new concept of space, which is analog to the dialectic of mold and cast. It considers global space filled with actual substances traveling throughout our planet, shaping each other through time and gravity and thus shaping the space we live in. This conception of space is called Substanzraum, the space of substance. www.alexanderjohannes.com

Estranged

"Estranged" follows the contrast between surrounding elements which are detached from reality, and those which fall into place. what makes one feel at ease, at home? what differentiates a dream and substantiality?

The walk will be open for the public on Saturday, 26 November 2022, from 13h to 15h.

Let's Play a Game

Let's Play a Game

In the silence that wraps around you, do you feel the subtle heartbeat of anticipation, like the quiet before a storm; Or is it merely the echo of your own steps? As you wander through the shadows in the narrow corridors, do they whisper timeless stories, or are they merely fragments of your imagination?

The Lament of the Water

The Lament of the Water

Modified, straightened, covered, and invisible water bodies – though they cannot be easily seen or heard – have always been there, making sounds. The Lament of the Water invites listeners to access The Hague’s waterscape from a different vantage point through active, embodied listening. By combining site-specific field recordings, water-memory narratives from diverse cultures and perspectives evoked by the same landscape, and guided on-site listening instructions, these elements intertwine to form a polyphony of urban nature. This soundwalk aims to attune one’s senses, expand their listening spectrum, and reestablish connections with the vibrant matters surrounding them. The starting point for the audio walk is at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, in front of the Rijkskantoor at Rijnstraat 8, Den Haag.
