The Pailliún Aeir i bhFoirm Oscailte Inis Oírr (Inisheer Open Form Pavilion of Air) is a floating roof of sound across a section of the eastern end of the beach, 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 near the eastern end of the beach, 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 along the site through the app. Hear this beachside location and its context 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 the site on Inis Oírr.

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

Cork History & Culture Uncovered

Cork History & Culture Uncovered

Cork
Cork History & Culture Uncovered is a 4km historical stroll through the streets of Cork city at the very south of Ireland. Failte go Corcaigh! -Welcome to Cork Begin this historical and cultural trail through Cork city at the Shandon Bells and Saint Annes Church. Cork is the second largest city in Ireland and also commonly known as the real capital of Ireland. We shall visit some of the key historical and tourist spots in this vibrant city. Cork is a city shaped by the vibrancy of its people. Corkonians are confident, sharp-witted and often rebellious, giving the city its nickname of the rebel county. The rebellious nature of its natives has been passed down through the generations in its song and oral tradition. Poet and writer Robert Gibbings once commented "people that you have never met stop you on the street for a conversation". Be sure to ask Cork natives about the historical stops along the way and you will be sure to be immersed into the life and stories of Cork life. ​ Cork city’s panoply of life – with its vibrant people, buildings, bridges, the river Lee– echoes the history and cultural evolution of this acclaimed ‘real capital of Ireland’. Along this walk through Cork you will be welcomed by the warmth of its people, the rich undulating accent, the hustle and bustle of a pocket sized city that packs a punch.
