........................................................................ ...................... 1/ Week 26th of April to 3rd of May - Hong-Kong

Locus Sonus is participating in the Around - Listening Places Festival in Hong-Kong. Locustream Audio Tardis : Designed as a listen-in event, a 2-hours sequence of available streams from the Locustream project will be played on the rooftop of a building downtown Hong-Kong (Foo Tak Building in Wan Shai Hong-Kong). The cyclical sequence will successively play the live streams for around 7 mn each. A simple video-image showing the name of the location and of the streamer will be be projected during each sequence. On Wednesday the 29th of April, Jerome Joy will do a lecture on Locus Sonus projects at the Hong-Kong Academy for Performing Arts (7pm). This series is initiated by the non-profit organization SoundPocket

........................................................................ ...................... 2/ Week from 14th to 20th of May - Paris

Locus Sonus is participating in the big exhibition La Force de l'Art in Paris. Locus Sonus : Locustream Audio Tardis A live journey through a worldwide network of open microphones : A rapid, imaginary journey between various open mikes of the Locustream project, initiated by the Locus Sonus lab. All the sounds that you hear were transmitted live from the distant locations where volunteers taking part in the project have set up microphones which permanently stream their chosen soundscape via the web. By switching from stream to stream and automatically sequencing the sound diffusion of each available Locustream webmics, we propose an analogy to the actual listening experience which you can experience for yourself on the Locustream SoundMap if you chose to listen to the Locus Sonus streams on a daily basis. This series is initiated by the non-profit organization Synesthesie, http://cav.synesthesie.com/
