The Mobile Ö1 Atelier being staged by the ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Company’s radio station Ö1 is one of the epicenters of the Open Cloud Project in conjunction with the 2012 voestalpine Klangwolke. On Saturday, September 1st, this will be the final destination of the Klangwolke ABC Parade and the site of a dance presentation ranging from hip-hop to traditional Austrian folk dancing. The voestalpine Brass Band will provide musical accompaniment. During the days leading up to the big event, visitors can also create illuminated letters for the Klangwolke ABC and soundcloudminiatures here.

The Mobile Ö1 Atelier is also once again a hotbed of activity in conjunction with the u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD festival for young people. The young reporters from the Ö1 Kinderuni will be covering what’s happening ‘round about the Festival Village and feeding fascinating features to the u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD VJ.

In addition to the Open Cloud Project and u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD, the Main Square will be a setting for the 2012 Campus Exhibition curated by the Sound Studies master’s program at the UdK–University of the Arts Berlin (DE). The Campus Atelier is a nice spot to meet & greet the artists whose work is featured in the Campus Exhibition and the Campus Lab (located in the u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD Festival Village and a former taxation agency facility).

Sonic Place Linzer Hauptplatz is a Campus Lab artistic research project in which sound artist/researcher Sam Auinger (AT), British artist Peter Cusack and UdK students are creating an interactive sound map of the Main Square during the festival. You can check it out in the Mobile Ö1 Atelier and online too.

“Transition,” a work by Sound Studies grad Julius Stahl (DE), invites you to go on a very special soundwalk. Each participant wears headphones that pick up all ambient sounds from their surroundings and transmit them via radio to another set of headphones. The result: hearing with someone else’s ears.

The Mobile Ö1 Atelier is also the point of departure of audiowalks with Sam Auinger, Peter Cusack and Georg Spehr (DE). To take part, please preregister in the tent.

All Klangwolke letter designers who just can’t delay gratification any longer can gather on the Ars Electronica Center’s Maindeck on September 1st at 5 PM. Everyone’s invited! With voestalpine’s own marching band leading the way, a parade of people and letters will proceed across the Nibelungen Bridge to the Lentos Art Museum. Then it’s on via Pfarrplatz, Marienstraße and the Passage shopping mall to OK-Platz, where the colorful procession cuts through Ursulinenhof and makes a right onto Landstraße. Around 6 PM, the Klangwolke caravan converges on the Mobile Ö1 Atelier on Linz’s Main Square, where terpsichorean troops ranging from hip-hoppers to folk dancers will display their individualize choreographies in which letters coalesce into words. The best of these performances will be reprised shortly thereafter before a much larger audience. The groups will strut their stuff in the main event—the 2012 voestalpine Klangwolke.

Complete information about the 2012 voestalpine Klangwolke will be available during the days leading up to the big event at the ABC Check-in Stations. And that’s not all: Anybody who’d like to participate can buy an illuminated letter, the first one costs 8 €, every next one 5 €.

Right up to the last minute, those who have already completed their letters can register them here and equip them with a radio receiver.
