What can we discover by listening more closely to the places around us? Join Luxembourgish sound artist Sam Erpelding on a sound walk through the city. Equipped with microphones and headsets, participants are invited to rediscover their surroundings through sound — from natural elements to infrastructures.

Resonating with the theme of the exhibition, the sound walk extends the exploration of infrastructure, embodied practices and sensory approaches to space. It follows what composer Pauline Oliveros calls Deep Listening : a practice of listening more attentively and consciously to our surroundings.

  • Location : LUCA + outdoors (wear clothes suitable for the weather)
  • Duration : 1 hour
  • All ages (10 years old minimum)
  • Language : English / French
  • Free, upon registration (limited places)

This event is organised as part of the exhibition 'Sonic Investigations : A Field Report'.
