SONIC TRACES Information

SONIC TRACES leaves audible marks. We lead you on various paths of history, allowing you to dive into stories and experience new acoustic worlds. Real places, narratives and moods are amplified. Virtual reality for the ears! Through augmented audio reality, you can immerse yourself in this new acoustic world. Each listener can explore individually, can wander and experience: Who are the people whose voices I hear over there? What can they tell me of the time in which they lived? Is someone reading aloud from a newspaper? Was that a drone flying overhead just now? Stories and history come alive through references to the present. SONIC TRACES utilizes this certitude and allows connections to be made: the gaze lingers in the present while the ear is plunged into tales of the past or the future. In this way you gain a sense of place within a specific time, be it real or fictional. This is how people must have debated here a hundred years ago, these are the issues they may debate a hundred years from now... Our ears help us to navigate, they transfer sentiments, they warn us, remind us – and they are the gateways for exciting stories.
