\nR apid prototyping of site-specific sound interventions
\nThis workshop is an investigation into the social and acoustic affordances of sound in public spaces. We will spend two days exploring the city of Am sterdam through the practice of Soundstorming\, a direct exploratory method for fast prototyping of outdoor sonic interventions.

ation with IMM\, Düsseldorf and Festival for Applied Acoustics\, Köln\nSoundstorming is the invention of artist Davide Tidoni\, w ho recently won an honorable mention at Ars Electronica for his work A Balloon for Linz. Similar to the process of brainstormi ng\, the pretext of Soundstorming is to provide a freewheeling context in w hich we may explore different listening modes and develop site specific ins tallations and interventions.
\nSoundstormers stop the walk and inter vene whenever they find an interesting site/context. A sensitive ear\, crit ical awareness\, and sound producing / recording devices constitute each so undstormer's basic toolkit.
\nDuring the soundstorming walk we will p ay particular attention to the body as a whole sensory being and as a polit ical subject. We will conduct situated listening activities for developing individual sensitivity to the nature of the city\, as well as develop appro aches for investigating specific social-cultural contexts and notions of pu blic and private.
\nAt the end of the 2 days\, participants will crit ically present his/her documentation and the experiential data gathered dur ing the exploration with the group.
\nDates: 12-13 May \, 2012

\nParticipants must bring along their own sound-making devices for use in outdoor install ations and interventions. Any kind of old or new media equipment is welcome . Good examples are bent electronics\, found radios\, small speakers\, mega phones\, mp3 players\, microphones\, tape recorders and so on. We highly re commend looking for some sound equipment on Queensday\, or attending the REWIRE Q ueensday circuit bending workshop in order to prepare some sound making devices.
\nThings also useful to bring are: a swiss army knife\, wat erproof clothes\, heavy shoes\, water and food. Remember that you must carr y what you bring. We'll be in the city most of the day\, so do not load you r backpack too much.
\nWith a particular em phasis on listening modes and sound-space relations Davide Tidoni (IT) realizes a variety of works that include site specific interve ntions\, acoustic territory explorations as well as sound ethnography field works and listening workshops. He has presented his work at the Barbican C entre - London (2012)\, the Ars Electronica Festival - Linz (2011)\, the Ve nice Architecture Biennale (2010)\, the School of Humanities and Social Sci ences\, University of Exeter (2009)\, and RAUM - Bologna (2009).
\nST EIM is very happy to have the opportunity to invite Davide to conduct his u nique sound explorations here in Amsterdam.
