Electrical Walk by Christina Kubisch

Wundergrund Music Festival is on in Copenhagen [about] and the long established German sound artist Christina Kubisch's Electrical Walk can be walked in Copenhagen during the festival. You pick up special kinds of headphone (looking BIG and über retro) which detect the city's electro magnetic radiations as sound structures. I kind of looked forward to more variation as most sounds sounded like electrical motors. The most fun part was listening to sounds while riding the train: Differendt bubbling sounds. We did not pass the game arcade in Tivoli (that would probably be great too).  A positive thing was the slowing down and using the city in a new way. Well known streets and shops opened up with new details.
