The goal of the intervention is
to transpose a real situation in public space onto a plane of fictionality.
The sound intervention
alters the mode of perception of a random passer-by listener. That which
a listener sees becomes a fiction and support for that which he or she
hears.
The result of such alienation is that the listener no longer perceives
reality as something that has any immediate effect on his or her own
existence but, rather, accepts it as an aesthetic phenomenon; this, however,
may present a direct threat to his or her own existence.
RS (REALITY
SOUNDTRACK) is sound intervention in public spaces as post offices,
passages, shopping malls, streets, ... Sound carriers are people equipped
with
small radio receivers – 30 or more people, each one having 1 radio
receiver. All these radio receivers transmit the same electronic composition,
which is transmitted from a mobile short range radio station, or even
better, from an existing radio station. The radio receivers should be
small enough, so it is possible to put them in a pocket or a bag – they
shouldn’t be visible. All the participants – carriers are
walking together through parts of a city following a given score of movement.
The audible result of the action is a moving cloud of sound, which is
traveling through a city. The duration of the intervention is flexible,
best around 2 hours in the afternoon time.
