Performance :

Incorporating performance, walking and field recording, artist Tim Shaw offers a sound-responsive journey through urbanspace, immersing you into a familiar yet abstracted environment.*Intersect* playswith the sonic sphere through space and allows participants to navigatethrough a variety of composed and ‘naturally occurring’ environmentsfacilitated, processed and remediated by the artist.

During a 40-minute led walk through an area of Bergen, you will wearwireless radio headphones which will receive an audio feed of liverecordings, locational radio broadcasts and electromagnetic energy from youimmediate environment.

Sounds will be processed, layered and re-introduced live by the artistdirectly into your headphones as the walk continues. Using a radioreceiver, electromagnetic pick up coils and a variety of differentmicrophones, a diverse range of sonic material will be collected, processedand broadcast. A live improvisation with the immediate soundscape, uniqueeach time it is performed, this piece plays with memory, intuition andimpulse.
