Ear lesson "Audiowalk - Site specific and still independent of a location"
An audio walk interweaves the real physical space and the acoustically produced space. The result is a third space (Cardiff/Miller), a completely new reality. But what if the physical space can always be chosen anew by the recipients? What possibilities open up when the audio walk is site-specific yet universally applicable? In the workshop discussion, Norbert Lang and Ruben Kurschat explore these questions and share their work in the world of audio walks.
A Masterclass with Soundmarker.

Masterclass "Walking Narratives"
What happens when the world in your headphones overshadows the real one? When both spaces complement, irritate and question the other? In this masterclass, we will be on the lookout for the third space that can be created in an audiowalk. We will be delving into the origins of the genre, exploring its many ways of unfolding and presenting itself and examine the technical possibilities of its implementation. During the workshop session, together we will be developing ideas for audiowalks that push the boundaries of what is possible - and perhaps go beyond them.
The soundmarker collective focuses on site-specific audio work. Using exercises and experiments, soundmarker explores the potential of audiowalks and sees it as a laboratory where theoretical and practical discussions merge. Every two years, soundmarker invites professionals to exchange their expertise regarding walking and getting people to listen.
Together with Guidemate, soundmarker is the organizer of Audiowalk Award, which was bestowed for the first time in 2020.

April and June 2015. Workshop and review at Hafen City University Hamburg
Within the degree programme Metropolitan Culture students of the seminar "The Sound of Wilhelmsburg" develop acoustical interventions. I gave a workshop on Elements of Interaction and Participation in artistic audiowalks in urban spaces and was invited as a guest reviewer.July 2014. Sound exploration at campus of University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee (UWM)
This workshop was part of a summer school organized by Institute of World Affairs. 16 high school students investigated the sonic surroundings of the campus of UWM.
May 2014. The World in Friedrichshain - Kreuzberg
6th graders of Dathe-Oberschule went on a sonic exploration and captured their "sounds of the world" in Berlins neighbourhoods of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. The students created short audio plays that were presented in a walkable and hearable map of this district.
