Sound Atlas

2015

Commissioned by Drawing Lines & sponsored by ArtPlace

Interactive iOS app

SoundAtlas is a personalized radio station that realizes a composition in real time, based on your GPS coordinates.  Available via free iPhone app Soundyarn, the soundtrack reacts to the user's movement and location.  Created in collaboration with Austin District 10 residents.

This project was made for Drawing Lines, an exploratory conversation about the dynamics of place. An artist-driven, community-based public art project, Drawing Lines was commissioned in response to Austin's historic 10-1 political transformation from at-large to geographic representation. Embedding artists within the foundation of a rapidly changing, ever-evolving city, it's a project that explores how art itself, as a process, can be part of the conversation around Austin’s newly restructured 10-1 political system and examines the role of contemporary culture in the transition of place.

This project was produced by GO Collaborative, Public City, and Fisterra Studio.
