Call & Response is an interdisciplinary art, science and technology project created to provide both real time and cumulative data regarding ecological changes between the Jones Falls Watershed and the Baltimore Inner Harbor water systems. The project will employ a solar and wind power navigational device, which artist Steve Bradley and colleague, David Stround have named Intellexi v 0.1, (BUOY) equipped with sensors, monitors and transmitters to provide participants information over a one-year period. The Intellexi will collect data and convert the information into broadcast sounds and digitized images thereby creating an eco-narrative and “voice” for the delicate ecosystem that is normally overlooked, invisible, or silent to the public. >><< |

BLOCK:Stories The core of the project broadcasts recorded (and sometimes live) selected sounds of a place that often include stories, spoken poems, music and other sonic forms that normally would be lost in the “noise” of the urban environment. The objective is to create a sense of place by offering up the sounds and the voices of the residents back into the urban environment. The goal of URBANtraces is to give voice to the local residents who are often silent but always there living, playing and working in and around the community of Station North Arts District. learn more < |
