Remnant Layers
Remnant Layers is an audio artwork about how we hear and understand our surrounding audio landscapes. We usually don’t actively listen to our surroundings, and often notice the changes to these audio ambiences only after they have changed.
What does your childhood home sound like today? How did the trip to school sound when you were a child and how has it changed? What are the sounds from your history and life, which today don’t sound the same? The artwork addresses how Shibuya’s audio surroundings have changed over time, and what they might sound like in the future.
The project is supported by The Finnish Institute in Japan as part of the pARTir initiative funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
