The Voice of the Space, the Space of the Voice: Citizen Mapping

Abstract

In this art action project we join different voices to the urban fabric, building an interpersonal dialogue in which different people, all of which live in a given social space, relate the experience of that space in their inner topography. The stone, symbolic architecture of that self that stablishes coordinates and hopes to be found by other, is transformed by art in action in a communication path for the locationÍ€™s inhabitants. The account of the topographic experiences offered by the citizenship is analysed using a variant of the panel studies participatory methodology (Sun Woong, 2008), called Í€œcohortÍ€ (De Keulenaer, 2008), which allows to identify the differences of the human experiences born from the social uses of each space, with the use of spoken maps of the city.
