Open the Night is a soundwalk about light pollution. Moths create the narrative by speaking to the listener about their nightly experiences around streetlamps in Berlin.
The experience uses geospatial audio technology via the mobile app “Echoes.” This technology activates sounds when a GPS device (a mobile phone you hold) enters a specific zone. Therefore, you will need a smartphone or iPhone to participate in this workshop and download the Echoes app. To enhance your hearing experiences, please also bring a set of ear/headphones.

-An introduction to light pollution and urban ecologies by British artist Jeremy Knowles (in English with German translation).

Open the Night is suitable for all ages.
