“Acoustic Maps: How the City Sounds” is the title of the next event in the Kopfstand 09 series set for September 1, 2008.

How can an audible environment be displayed? Can our acoustic surroundings be depicted in graphical form? Anna-Lena Kornfeld, a geographer living in Hamburg, has come up with an impressive solution to the problem of acoustic cartography. Her “Soundslike” project can not only represent the location of acoustical events; it also portrays the urban soundscape’s dynamic peaks and troughs at different times of day. Anna-Lena Kornfeld will present her work at the next Kopfstand 09 get-together on September 1, 2008.
