SOUNDGATE
Open Call for SoundGate – A part of Port2010, taking place in Aalborg, Denmark in oct/nov 2010.
The idea behind SoundGate is to create a platform where artists globally can contribute with their sound works and partake in the exhibition that will be presented physically in the town of Aalborg, Denmark, more specifically at Kunsten (the museum of modern art), Utzon Centre (the architectural centre) and Platform4 (a great space where creative people can realize their projects).
With this selection of spaces, the aim is to target a broad audience in order to promote sound art and “cutting edge”-music to new and hopefully curious ears.
At the selected spaces, listening posts will be set up. The audience will only be able to access the sound through high quality headphones and track information will be displayed on a screen. This means that there’s no audience interaction such as skipping, fast-forwarding or stopping. This clearly challenges new concepts such as ”on-demand” and requires old school skills such as patience, and thus hopefully stimulates focus on the actual work. The project only requires one action from the ”user”: Listening!
