Temporary interactive sound installation made of objects found on site in Aspern Seestadt, Vienna. Developed in collaboration with Ana-Marija Vasicek and Jan Phillip Ley and supervised by Barbara Holub and Paul Rajakovics.










Under the guidance of Barbara Holub and Paul Rajakovics of transparadiso, Ana-Marija Vasicek, Jan Phillip Ley and I developed a temporary intervention in Aspern Seestadt: a pre-planned, aggressively marketed and technologically advanced urban development, the largest construction site in Europe at the time.
Moving through the site, we were exposed to a very particular, intense noisescape.
We captured some of these sounds before they dissolved in time and space without a trace, and organized objects found on site into an interactive sound installation utilizing Arduino. It provided the possibility of controlling, playing with and organizing the ever-surrounding noise fragments into new unique and fleeting sound compositions. The installation was exhibited together with other students’ and artists’ projects in the frame of The Second World Non-Congress of the Missing Things.
