Streetscape
by Iori Nakai
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2003
Iori Nakai's “Streetscape” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2003, category Interactive Art.
Streetscape is a device that extracts environmental sounds and city form, and immerses you in them so that you can imagine your surroundings. By tracing a map where the roads have been cut away, you can listen to sounds from that particular location using headphones.
