In the past, nature has awakened in many scientists and artists a sense of exploration, admiration and beauty. Even today, many artists find the most inspiration in the right to nature and then translate it into artistic language through many expressions. This is the source of our workshop, where with the help of the silent disco system we get to know the world of contemporary artists and the method of artistic research and observation of the environment. Through the space, the participants move with the help of a sound recording (and also a mentor) – along the outlined path, through the urban and natural environment in their city. Active perception of the environment is provided (houses, objects, animals, nature, people), as well as responses to them, all the way to the group. As individuals connected in a group with physical distance, we can thus get to know a new environment that we can define and co-create for a few moments.
The aim of the workshops is to explore and get to know the surroundings in an active, fun and aware way through learning about artistic research and pieces of selected sound works of art. Establish communities, become sensitized to space and others.
