Walk With Me

Walkscape

Palimpsest is an immersive sounding trip in the city. The main principle consists in an alternative perception of soundscape in real-time. With a GPS and headphone system, the visitor has the possibility to walk through the city center and to «discover» a different sounding reality linked with the places he is moving around.

The main concept of the project is based on the idea of a "sound palimpsest" : with this system, the visitor can hear some sounds which are part of the history of the city but which are not there anymore, or some metaphorical sounds that the artists were specifically creating. This project will propose a very specific and astonishing experience of walking towards Wroclaw. With a simple iPad including a special application (GPS and 3 dimensional sound), the visitors will be able to discover Wroclaw in a complete new "sounding" reality. The visitor will have a special map of the city center, showing the different sound spots they will be able to reach, creating their own and very special visit. The central point of this installation will be installed in National Forum of Music entrance.

Upon an idea by Pierre Jodlowski based on the “walk with me” project by Jeroen Strijbos & Rob van Rijswijk.
