By walking through different zones along Naval Pier 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 pier through the app. Hear the harbourside location and its context become transformed by the many 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 on-site at Naval Pier. Overview of the series https://www.rte.ie/culture/2023/0327/1366079-new-music-dublin-welcomes-you-to-the-open-form-pavilion-of-air/ ______ [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. Is éard atá i “Pailliún Aeir i bhFoirm Oscailte Cobh” ná díon ar snámh ag síneadh thar Ché an Chabhlaigh sa Chóbh, spreagtha ag GPS agus a bhfuil rochtain air trí fhón cliste, cluasáin agus an aip echoes.xyz. Arna spreagadh ag coincheap ailtireachta “Open Form” de chuid na hailtirí Polannacha Oskar & Zofia Hansen (ca. 1959), tá an coimisiún poiblí seo d’Ionad Ealaíon Sirius ar cheann de 15 láthair i 9 dtír sa tsraith pan-Eorpach Open Form Pavilion of Air, ag baint úsáide as fuaim agus mapáil láithreáin chun athnuachan spraíúil agus athfhrámáil spás poiblí a thairiscint mar áit riachtanach rannpháirtíochta don phobal. Agus tú ag siúl trí chriosanna éagsúla feadh Ché an Chabhlaigh agus d’fhón póca, an aip Echoes agus na cluasáin á n-úsáid agat, éiríonn tú i d’éisteoir rannpháirteach a tháirgeann cumadóireacht i bhfíor-am. Cruthaíonn do loingseoireacht córagrafaíocht uathúil trí GPS, a chomhcheanglaíonn agus a athraíonn fuaimeanna atá mapáilte feadh an ché tríd an aip. Éist le suíomh cois an chuain agus a chomhthéacs ag athrú ó bhonn ag an iliomad fuaimeanna a chruthaíonn an ailtireacht fhuaimiúil ar snámh seo, a thaispeánann eispéireas tumtha, spásúil agus fisiceach. Níl aon láithreacht infheicthe ag an bPailliún lasmuigh den aip agus ní féidir teacht air agus taitneamh a bhaint as ar an láthair ach ag Cé an Chabhlaigh.

A little walk around this small mad little place

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.
