OVERKANT

room 4 ECHOES

Location: Noordelijke IJ-oevers, North Holland, Netherlands

OVERKANT is een audiowandeling met overtocht over het IJ - gemaakt door Dorien de Wit. De overkant is altijd de plek waar je niet bent. Op het water tussen twee oevers staat niets meer vast. We zoeken een richting zoals water een bedding zoekt. Hoe verhoudt je lichaam zich tot een bewegend landschap? Klopt het wel wat je zintuigen vertellen?

Duur: circa 20 minuten. 'Laten we afspreken dat dit het begin is al weten wij beiden dat alles allang is begonnen'

Plastic Hypersea

Plastic Hypersea

Update: As of Thursday 10 June 2021, the custom boat sails and ceramic sculptures have been uninstalled. However the audio walk is still accessible via the Echoes app. Plastic Hypersea is an interactive, site-specific work by artist Sissel Marie Tonn that can be experienced at the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam. Set in the year 2099, Plastic Hypersea offers a guided, spatial experience that speculates on a possible future for the field of immunology in which it has merged with the field of Environmental Health. As the listener explores the terrain they are invited to imagine the environment as an extension of their immune system and to contemplate the many ways in which their bodies are entangled with microplastics in the sediments of Amsterdam’s waterways. Ultimately, Plastic Hypersea asks listeners to abandon the war metaphors haunting immunology and to contemplate a more expanded sense of self. Produced in collaboration with musician and composer Vincenzo AcquAria Castellana and sound and recording artist BJ Nilsen, the geolocated sound experience is augmented with custom boat sails and ceramic sculptures, created by Sissel, which act as ‘membranes’ encoded with material and immaterial data about the hydrophobic industrial waste flowing through the waters of the Netherlands. Created by Sissel Marie Tonn Narration: Sallie Harmsen Music and composition: Vincenzo AcquAria Castellana Sound recording and mixing: BJ Nilsen Commissioned by Sonic Acts in collaboration with Paradiso as part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

Soundpaths: NDSM

NDSM is a former shipyard in Amsterdam. Soundpaths is an immersive audio experience that explores its history through field recordings and music. Put on your headphones, hit start and playback will begin. You can see yourself as a blue dot on the map below, and the audio zones are represented in purple. When you are standing in an audio zone it will start playing back. Wander around NDSM and the sounds will change to fit your location. You will hear music, and perhaps the ghosts of the former activity of the wharf. From the 1920s to the 1980s, Amsterdam’s NDSM Wharf was one of the largest shipyards in the world. When the shipyard closed in 1984, the area around it became “stigmatized as a poor neighbourhood populated by immigrants and former labourers from the now defunct shipping industry”. The story of the redevelopment of NDSM begins in the late 90s, and it is somewhat unusual, being rooted in Amsterdam’s countercultural squatting scene. In recent years multinational companies have opened offices here, and thousands of new luxury homes have been built; developers and corporations both keen to capitalise on the cultural cache of the area that exists as a result of an underground arts scene. Once again the sounds of industry ring out at the wharf, but where once ships were constructed, now it is luxury homes. How has the particular history of the area led us to this present? What has been gained as the area has been redeveloped? What has been lost? The area thrives now. But has anything been forgotten? Has anyone been pushed aside?

Mira - Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder

Mira - Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder

Mira ‘Een zoektocht naar stilte in het hart van de stad’ Korte audiowandeling langs bijzondere plaatsen en mooie ontmoetingen in het historische centrum van Amsterdam. Twintiger Mira, een dochter van een Nederlandse kunstenares en een Turkse klokkenmaker, woont op de Wallen, in hartje Amsterdam. Iedere dag maakt zij een wandeling door de oude binnenstad, op zoek naar stilte en bezinning. Deze mini-pelgrimage voert haar langs kerken, bruine cafés, smalle steegjes en andere markante plekken. Hier herleeft ze, samen met de luisteraar, een aantal bijzondere ontmoetingen. Wie zijn deze mensen? En wat willen ze haar vertellen? Wandel mee met Mira, laat je inspireren door haar verhalen en zoek samen met haar naar de stilte in het hart van de stad. ‘Mira’ is een route langs de drie Amsterdamse Nicolaaskerken waarbij de zeven werken van barmhartigheid worden verteld vanuit het perspectief van een hedendaagse Amsterdammer. De audiowandeling over de Wallen start voor Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder, op de Oudezijds Voorburgwal 38, en loopt onder meer langs de Oude Kerk en de Sint Nicolaaskerk. De wandeling heeft een lengte van ongeveer 800 meter en duurt ongeveer 35 minuten. Meer informatie over de wandeling vind je op www.opsolder.nl/Mira Tekst & Regie: Puck van Dijk Muziek: Niels Vermeulen Interactie ontwerp: Joël Vegt Versie: 02-12-2021 21:00
