Soundcards from Het Stenen Hoofd
Soundcards are audio postcards: aural snapshots of a place that function as tools for social exchange. Mimicking the format of the classic postcard, they traverse the space between the material, personal and social realms to open up new avenues for the exploration of the sound in the city.

Politics and Public Space Panel Discussion

In documenting and discussing Recreation Ground's central artistic intervention Artist's Impression, Part 3 explores the meaning of participatory art within the age of global surveillance. How or where can work, let alone art occur at a time when participation within the global surveillance network is no longer an option, but the very condition of new knowledge creation?
