Traveling and remaining (Eng)
The ECHOES app will locate your phone via GPS and track you as you go
Put on your headphones and follow Gyrid’s voice which guides you through the walk
The whole route takes around 30 minutes and ends at the quay opposite the Oslo rådhus (Oslo City hall)
If you are not sure if you are going the right way, you can always refer to the map in the app, even though generally it’s recommended to keep the mobile in your pocket and look around you!
Enjoy your walk!
The walk begins at the Karpedammen, to the left of the banner, between the trees towards Karpedammen, and ends at the quay opposite the Oslo rådhus (Oslo City hall). During the walk you will be guided by Gyrid. She directs your gaze in different directions and supplies a personal narrative about the feeling of home and memory, interspersed with other voices and experiences. She evokes the changing and sensual aspects of cities with smells of mangoes, traffic and chaos, but also the parks and oases of calm.
During the walk, you can hear soundscapes the composer has recorded from various places she keeps returning to, as well as the song "My Dear Oslo" which was composed for this walk.
