The Ghost of Jonathan Swift

Food tour around the Dublin City Centre. I recommend doing the walk in this order, but any configuration will work (Heartbreak Social Club -> J2 Sushi -> Han Sung -> Pocha -> Mama's Revenge). The walk is supposed to help you make up your mind on what you want to eat that day but it's also suitable to try them all in the same day, as a form of a testing experience. So you can walk through all of them or listen to only the ones that interest you by checking the location title of each place, with their name and kind of cuisine they do, so it's nice and easy for you. Enjoy!

This walk will take you back 108 years when a rebellion broke out in Dublin city centre. This tour won't teach you about the leaders or the politics of the rising, you will learn about the innocent lives caught up in the turmoil, the stories that rarely get told, about the futures stolen from Irish youths.

Download app https://explore.echoes.xyz/ and then open QR code in app. Details https://www.recordedfields.net/installations/dublin-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. Explore the grounds of the Square beyond the paths. Robert Curgenven’s “Baile Átha Cliath Pailliún Aeir i bhFoirm Oscailte” (Dublin Open Form Pavilion of Air) is an audiowork which 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 audio work is presented as a Pavilion without walls - a roof made from sound - that is heard to extend across the public space of Merrion Square. By traversing different zones within the park 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 Merrion Square 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 on-site in Merrion Square.
