About this Event

Experience the city through sound with artist Tim Shaw

Join us for an iteration of artist Tim Shaw’s Ambulation. Ambulation is a live augmented walking practice that uses listening and sound processing technologies to harvest sounds from the immediate environment and present them back to you as you move through the city.

During this walk Tim will draw on field recording techniques, collecting acoustic sounds, electro-magnetic waves and other diverse signals through different microphones and sensors. As he walks, he transmits these sounds to participants wearing wireless headphones.

Important Information

  • The tour runs 15:00–17:00
  • The group will meet at the Farrell Centre.
  • The tour is on foot and will involve considerable walking and some steps.
  • In November the weather can be cold and changeable, and attendees are advised to ensure they are prepared for all conditions.

About the tour leader

Tim Shaw – Artist and researcher, who works across environmental sound art, digital media, media archaeology, walking, and installation making.
