Locative audio consists in the capacity to locate a sound in a physical space and reproduce it when the users –equipped with a smartphone or any other device that has GPS and an audio file player – find themselves in the designated place. Although it is quite clear that its usefulness is wide-ranging –from tourist guides to even navigation aids for the blind– the aim of this project is to develop sound and narrative art works through the meeting of producers, sound artists and writers.
During the workshop, participants learn how to use the different technical resources that are available, experimenting with script writing, working with audio files and creating projects. The subsequent exhibition consists of the results obtained from the session as well as three European locative media projects developed in Hangar, Barcelona.
