Join Douglas Laustsen on a guided walk and listen to music on your phone generated using the Echoes app that plays sound based on city data. Following the walk we’ll have a group discussion about issues at hand and geolocated sound projects in general.

Where: in the Govalle neighborhood, starting at Dimension Gallery Sculpture Park and looping back around.

Overlooked, Overheard is an Augmented Reality listening experience that looks at how our city is maintained in ways that we can’t see.

To get prepared for the soundwalk before Saturday morning:

-Find 'Echoes' application from your Android Play Store or iTunes App Store. The application takes up about 450 MB. The app is free to download and use.

-Go back to Doug's page https://overheard.lownote.net/echoes/ and click the link for "Eastview" or within the Echoes app, search for 'Overlooked, Overheard' and then find the "Eastview" walk

-Use the green symbol of an arrow within a circle to download, then use the blue rectangle that says 'start' to play from the app as you attend the guided walk.

We will listen to sounds from the application track-list when we reach specific locations on the sound walk in the Govalle Neighborhood.

It will be best to download everything before you arrive for the walk at 10am so you aren't waiting around using up all your data away from home. *Remember to bring earbuds or whatever you usually use to listen to music on your phone*
