> ABOUT TUNED CITY:
>
> Tuned City - Between sound and space speculation is an exhibition and
> conference project planned for 1-6 July 2008 in Berlin which  
> proposes a
> new evaluation of architectural spaces from the perspective of the
> acoustic. The project draws the traditions of critical discussion  
> about
> urban space within the architecture and urban planning discourse–as  
> well
> as its strategies and working methods–into the context of sound art.
> This expanded discussion reinforces the potential of the spatial and
> communicative properties of sound as a tool and means of urban  
> practice.
>
> At the foundations of this event are artists’ works and theoretical
> approaches which examine in a critical and sensitive way the given  
> urban
> and architectural situations alongside their resulting socio-political
> implications, that re-use existing spaces or that conceive and open  
> new
> spaces.
>
> A dialog will be built at the intersection of both disciplines which
> traces out the complex relations and interactions of space-sound, both
> presenting and testing new strategies, methods, possibilities and
> potentials of sound work within the artistic and applied context.
>
>
> TOPICS:
>
