From 15 th of June
Is it possible to occupy the inhabitable space that exists in all spaces with sound and visual archives or, in other words, the no-places there are in all places?
Augmented reality makes it possible to geo-locate contents on certain coordinates. By going online through mobile devices like smart phones, those archives can be found and played, provided that one is within their action radius. Poetic occupation turns readers into active visitors to places where poetic interventions have occurred.
This first non-invasive intervention brings together literary creation, music and dramatized readings along Legazpi neigbourghood, fostering the idea of an anti-guide. As people walk by, they can discover a series of audio poems, in an attempt to offer local residents and passersby a new way of walking through this fragment of the city.
How does it work?
To access the contents of “Occupacción poética” (Poetic OccupAction), you need to download the LAYAR* app, by clicking on this link:http://www.layar.com/download/
And you can add content
Intermediæ invites poets, musicians, educators and all interested people to send their proposals to continue this poetic occupation of Legazpi and other neighbourhoods in the south of the city. Contributions will be added to this initial intervention proposed by Carlos Contreras Elvira and Juan Carlos Ibáñez Angulo.
