The sound installation Box 30/70 “tunes” the plaza in front of the Ars Electronica Center through subtle transformations of urban soundscapes. An ongoing dialog with the cities of the world. It is based on the concept of resonance tuning, whereby the ambient soundscape is acoustically reproduced in a resonance body. Architecture and traffic flows as well as the social dynamics and significance of a place directly manifest themselves. Box 30/70 is a work-in-progress, an ongoing dialog with the cities of the world.

BOX 30/70 is a production of singuhr – hörgalerie in parochial, Berlin and Siemens Art Program, Munich.
