At the invitation of Miriam Wistreich (DK) and Arkadiusz Póltorak (PL) of the Curatorial Programme of De Appel I made in an inspiring collaboration the sound exhibition ‘Sonic Field Work’.
The sonic aspect of the Chinese globalization could be heard. Outside visitors could listen to the audible separation of the CIAM city functions (dwelling, working, recreation, and transportation) in garden city Amsterdam Nieuw-West, constructed by urban designer Cornelis van Eesteren. A small library was installed with publications about city planning, architecture, sound art and their relations in between.
‘Sonic Field Walk Lely’ took place in the monumental stairwell of Broedplaats Lely, built by architect J. B. Ingwersen.
How can I design a loudspeaker setup in an exhibition space where the speakers enter into a dialogue with each other, and within which the visitor chooses his/her own route through the sound universe?

I had to learn to walk again.
I had this feeling, when at the end of June I started work with the audiofiles which are going to form the basis of Time Lapse China. As if I were jumping, stepping from one discipline into another.
After some 30 years of pioneering the concept of the soundwalk for a headphone wearing audience I want to take a next step in my development as a sound artist. This is my first blog about a for me brand new research in the next couple of months.
