Hydrology 2.0 :: Media Mediterranea 27 H2O Interface

room 38 ECHOES

Location: Pula, Istria, Croatia

Hydrology 2.0 is a new Sound Walk created for Media Mediterranea 27 “H2O Interface”. This work is best experienced with headphones.

Hydrology 2.0 Sound Walk is a new immersive sound walk by Leah Barclay that invites festival participants to explore the hidden acoustic ecologies of global oceans and waterways. This technologically mediated listening journey transforms the site into a dynamic sonic environment that reveals the rich life beneath the surface of rivers, oceans, and lakes.

Drawing from over 300 hours of hydrophone recordings collected from global aquatic systems over a decade, this interdisciplinary project transforms scientific research into an artistic experience. The soundwalk bridges art, science, and environmental awareness, allowing participants to explore the soundscapes of global aquatic ecosystems in new ways.

Grounded in the intersection of art, science and technology, Hydrology 2.0 explores how sound can reveal hidden ecological information. The recordings demonstrate how listening can provide insights into environmental changes that are invisible to the naked eye. The soundwalk becomes a powerful sonic experience that reveals the complex acoustic ecology of aquatic ecosystems across the planet, challenges traditional modes of environmental perception, and demonstrates the power of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding ecosystems. This immersive exploration features the voices of local communities alongside the underwater sounds, creating a multi-layered sonic narrative that connects human experience to water as a interface. Experience this unique premiere that invites you to listen deeply to our planet's waterways and discover the soundscapes flowing beneath the surface.

The sound walk will adapt and change throughout the festival, the full loop will take approximately 30 minutes to walk, and the sounds can be listened to in any order. It is recommended to walk slowly, walking into the active location will tigger the audio to play. This project runs as part of the exhibition from 28th of May till 6th July 2025.

Venice Open Form Pavilion of Air / Padiglione Dell'aria di Venezia Modulo Aperto

Venice Open Form Pavilion of Air / Padiglione Dell'aria di Venezia Modulo Aperto

Download the app https://explore.echoes.xyz/ and then open QR code in app. Use headphones while walking within the Pavilion. An extra-national Pavilion for the Venice Biennale, a floating acoustic architecture, the 15th geo-located audiowork in the pan-European "Open Form Pavilion of Air" series by Robert Curgenven. Presented in conjunction with Dirk Yates & Speculative Architecture (AUS) https://www.instagram.com/speculativearchitecture/ Information on the Open Form Pavilion of Air series at https://www.recordedfields.net/installations/open-form-pavilion-of-air/ details on this piece at https://www.recordedfields.net/installations/venice-open-form-pavilion-of-air/ Walk slowly to allow sounds to enter gradually, notice the borders of these zones where new sounds fade-in, spend time in some places to notice the long sounds develop, how the view morphs with the sound. Padiglione Dell'aria di Venezia Modulo Aperto (Venice Open Form Pavilion of Air) is a floating roof of sound across Giardini della Biennale in Venice, triggered by GPS and accessed via a smartphone, headphones and the echoes.xyz app. Inspired by Polish architects Oskar & Zofia Hansen’s “Open Form” architectural concept (ca. 1959), this audiowork is one of 15 locations in 9 countries in the pan-European Open Form Pavilion of Air series, using sound and site-mapping to offer a playful renewal and reframing of public space as an essential place of engagement for the community. By walking through different zones within Giardini della Biennale, while using your mobile phone, the Echoes app and headphones, you become a participatory listener producing a composition in real-time. Your navigation creates a unique choreography via GPS, combining and changing sounds mapped within the Giardini through the app. Hear this unique coastal and quasi-urban international arts & architecture location become transformed by the sounds forming this floating acoustic architecture, revealing an immersive, profoundly spatial and physical experience. The Pavilion has no visible presence outside the app and can only be accessed and enjoyed at Giardini della Biennale. This piece is the final work of 15 in the Open Form Pavilion of Air series - it aims to provide a link between Umberto Eco's writing on "Opera Aperta" (Open Work) and the Hansen's Open Form Architecture - creating an overarching structure but also aperture between these points through which politics and architecture as a kind of 'opera scultpture' can meet and exchange a spatial dialogue. An overview of the Open Form Pavilion of Air series via RTÉ Culture: https://www.rte.ie/culture/2023/0327/1366079-new-music-dublin-welcomes-you-to-the-open-form-pavilion-of-air/ _____ On the Artist - https://www.recordedfields.net/ Robert Curgenven is an extra-disciplinary artist producing large-scale audiovisual experiences, albums, performances and installations. His work emphasizes physicality, our embodied response to sound and its correspondence to location, air, weather and architecture. Reviews span the Guardian (AU) citing his "evocative" and "expansive [pipe] organ work", "epic... remarkable music" (Wire, UK), "true sound art" (Washington Post), "astounding" (FACT mag, USA) to ★★★★ from Mojo (UK). Curgenven has produced works and installations for National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Poland (Krakow), Centre for Contemporary Art (Warsaw), Palazzo Grassi (Venice), Transmediale (Berlin), Modern Art Museum of Medellin (Columbia), National Sculpture Factory (Ireland), New Music Dublin and the National Film and Sound Archive (Australia). He has presented live performances at festivals including Sydney Festival (Sydney Town Hall), Maerzmusik (Kraftwerk Berlin), TodaysArt (The Hague), Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), Ultrahang (Budapest), Insomnia Festival (Tromsø/Norway), Cork Midsummer and was an artist for the EU's SHAPE (Sound, Heterogeneous Art and Performance in Europe) platform in 2019. Curgenven is an associate composer with the Contemporary Music Centre (Ireland), has produced radio works internationally including national radio in Australia (ABC Classic FM) and Ireland (RTÉ Lyric FM) and since 2008 has been a guest lecturer in music and sound at Universities, Conservatoriums and tertiary institutions internationally. "Curgenven makes the point that sounds are fundamental to our perception of the world... hearing the complexities of a place and time is intersected by memories of the familiar which are in turn displaced and transformed.” Realtime Magazine (AUS) “Behind the music lurk such [disparate] presences as Alvin Lucier, King Tubby, Murray Schafer and Eliane Radigue.” The Wire Magazine (UK)

Fantastično močvirje prihodnosti

Fantastično močvirje prihodnosti

Mokrišča se kot prehodna območja med kopnim in vodo upirajo enostavnim opredelitvam. Prostrana območja nenehnega počasnega razpada in neobvladljive rasti, ki v okvirih globokega časa ključno uravnavajo podnebne in zemeljske procese, so od nekdaj vzbujala strašljive in magične predstave o svetovih onkraj resničnosti na eni strani ter željo po upravljanju, izrabi in preoblikovanju tega upornega terena na drugi. V Fantastičnem močvirju prihodnosti elementi barja prevzamejo danes urbano območje Ljubljane, močvirje pa z vso silo pronica nazaj v nekdaj pretočno in raznoliko okolje, opustošeno skozi zgodovino človeške kolonizacije mokrišč. Multimedijska kompozicija se odvija kot zvočni sprehod s postojankami razširjene resničnosti ob nabrežju Ljubljanice, deli projekta pa so predstavljeni tudi v obliki video in AR instalacije v razstavnem prostoru Kamere. Delo s prepletom raznolikih medijev in elementov – od terenskih zajemov preslišanih zvočnosti barja do himeričnih virtualnih bitij – prikliče mnoštvo kulturnih, disciplinarnih in tehnoloških poskusov zamejevanj močvirja, da razpre njihove vrzeli. Z glitchem razkraja omejujoče ideje in imaginarije o človeški izrednosti ter onkraj okostenele fantazije močvirja odpira fantastično nestabilno območje, ki tekoče prehaja med mnogoterimi telesi in razsežnostmi. Avtorici: Swamp_Matter (Eva Garibaldi in Ana Laura Richter) Zvočna umetnica: Karmen Ponikvar Tehnični sodelavec: Jernej Koprivnikar Kuratorska podpora: Maja Burja AR platforma: Meadow Geolokacijska zvočna platforma: Echoes Organizacija: Kino Šiška (zanjo mag.

Nonument Group: Od nikoder do nikamor

Nonument Group: Od nikoder do nikamor

Nonument Group vas vabi na zvočni sprehod po poteh nekdanje Pionirske proge (1948-1954). Pionirska proga je bila 4 km dolga ozkotirna železnica, ki so jo leta 1948 zgradili pionirji in mladinske delovne brigade. Pionirske proge so bile mišljene kot vzgojne igrače, ki naj bi pri otrocih krepile ljubezen do tehnike, odgovornost, marljivost in delavnost, jih pripravljale na življenje v družbi in jim prinašale razvedrilo. Leta 1954 je bila proga ukinjena, njeni ostanki razstavljeni in premeščeni, proga pa pozabljena. Po delu nekdanje trase ob Večni poti so pozneje uredili kolesarsko stezo. Leta 2019 je Nonument Group ob Dnevu mladosti izvedla intervencijo na trasi nekdanje proge. Z zvočnim sprehodom vzdolž nekdanje trase proge lahko intervencijo podoživite tudi sami. Ob sprehajanju prisluhnite zvokom preteklosti in sedanjosti in pazite na kolesarje! Obiščite tudi razstavo Nonument Group "Od nikoder do nikamor", ki je med 17. junijem in 26. julijem 2020 na ogled v Zgodovinskem atriju ljubljanskega Magistrata.
