"Easter Sound-day" Spring Treasure Hunt

room 36 ECHOES

This Easter, go out for a different kind of egg hunt.

Turn on your location services (GPS), put on your headphones, and head out to find three sonic 'eggs' hidden along the way.

All the treasures within 500m of the starting point (the crane house), as the crow flies.

Keep aware of traffic, observe social distancing, and enjoy.

To begin the walk, tap Download to put it onto your phone. Put in your earphones, then make sure you have GPS / Locations Services enabled, and head to the crane house, where you'll hear an introduction to the adventure.

When you've found all three sounds of spring, list them in a text to me with your name [+353 (0)87 384 5048] for a wee prize.

Huge thanks to Anya for doing all the important things while I was making this x

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.
