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.

The Pailliún Aeir i bhFoirm Oscailte Inis Oírr is one of 15 audioworks in the pan-European Open Form Pavilion of Air series, including Pavilions for Warsztaty Kultury (Lublin, PL), New Music Dublin (IRL), Struer Tracks Festival (DK), Meetfactory Prague (CZ), Bergen Architecture School (NO) - each uses sound and site-mapping to offer a playful renewal and reframing of public space as an essential place of engagement for the community. Inspired by Polish architects Oskar & Zofia Hansen’s “Open Form” architectural concept (ca. 1959), the audiowork is presented as a Pavilion without walls - a roof made from sound - that is heard to extend across the public space of the beachside site on Inis Oírr.

By traversing different zones within the site using your mobile phone, the Echoes app and headphones, you become a participatory listener producing a composition in real-time as your navigation creates a unique choreography via GPS, combining and changing sounds mapped within the site through the app. A new layer of experience is rendered within the Inis Oírr site as the simplicity of the invisible roof and the absorbing physicality of its sound transforms the location and its context. The Pavilion has no visible presence outside the app and can only be accessed and enjoyed at the designated site on Inis Oírr.

_ [i nGaeilge] Siúil go mall chun ligean do fhuaimeanna dul isteach de réir a chéile, tabhair faoi deara teorainneacha na gcriosanna seo ina dtagann fuaimeanna nua isteach, caith am in áiteanna áirithe chun na fuaimeanna fada a thabhairt faoi deara, mar a athraíonn an radharc leis an bhfuaim. Tá an Pailliún Aeir i bhFoirm Oscailte Inis Oírr ar cheann de 15 saothar fuaime sa tsraith uile-Eorpach Open Form Pavilion of Air, ina measc Pavilions for Warsztaty Kultury (Lublin, PL), New Music Dublin (IRL), Struer Tracks Festival (DK), Meetfactory Prág (CZ), Scoil Ailtireachta Bergen (NÍL) - úsáideann gach ceann acu mapáil fuaime agus suímh chun athnuachan spraíúil agus athfhrámáil spás poiblí a thairiscint mar áit riachtanach rannpháirtíochta don phobal. Arna spreagadh ag coincheap ailtireachta “Open Form” de chuid na hailtirí Polannacha Oskar & Zofia Hansen (ca. 1959), cuirtear an clossaothar i láthair mar Phailliún gan ballaí - díon déanta as fuaim - a chloistear ag síneadh trasna spás poiblí an tsuímh cois trá ar Inis Oírr.

Níl aon láithreacht infheicthe ag an bPailliún taobh amuigh den aip agus ní féidir teacht air agus taitneamh a bhaint as ach ag an suíomh ainmnithe ar Inis Oírr.
