Memory of Sound
Experience a geolocated audio experience created by artist Ana Heilbron-Jácome and explore the grounds of Orleans House Gallery in a new way.
Memory is a journey through time. Every time we remember, we go back to the past to reaffirm the present and write a new future. Either consciously or unconsciously, it is part of our routine. In this process, an update of feelings, emotions and memories, meaning and identity are generated. The same happens with sound.
Sound is invisible. It takes no physical space, but it is part of the construction of the ecosystem, and it is part of the relationship humans have with the environment. So how do we want this relationship to be? How can the sound help us to reconstruct the environment? Is there a past, present and future of sound for the ecosystem?
