An augmented reality soundwalk along Tibbett Avenue, created by Kamala Sankaram—a composer of contemporary opera and experimental music who previously wrote a ten-hour opera for the trees of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. For this new artwork, sponsored by CALL, she’d designed a phone app that guides listeners to walk where the brook used to flow, listening to sounds of music and water along the way in concert with their phone’s geolocation data.

"Through a broad range of educational programs, performances, arts and
science residencies, and exhibitions, Pioneer Works seeks to transcend
traditional disciplinary boundaries, foster community, and provide a space
where alternative modes of thought are supported and activated in tangible
ways.

The organization was founded in 2012 by artist Dustin Yellin and is located
in a 25,000-square-foot manufacturing warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
After an extensive renovation, the facility now houses artist studios,
exhibition and performance spaces, a science lab, a recording studio, and
other spaces as needs arise. The floor plan is open and flexible,
encouraging a transparent, collaborative environment where international
artists, musicians, scientists and educators can co-exist and create
together.

Entry to Pioneer Works’ main exhibition space and artist-in-residence
studios are free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 6
p.m. Tours are available upon request.

Pioneer Works is a non-profit 501(c)(3)."
