Berg

Berg is a site specific sound art project by the artist Valentina Ferrandes and a GPS-triggered soundscape for iPhone designed for Teufelsberg Listening Station in Berlin. The APP(lication) contains an archive of audio tracks and soundscapes. As the user moves through Grunewald forest, the iPhone's GPS activates a series of overlapping tracks, radio broadcasts, spoken word and other auditive materials, inspired by Cold War Espionage, Short Wave Frequencies and Classic Cinema.
Through the localization of an audio path, the artist plunges the user into an evocative and estranging experience of the urban space.


Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Once you have finished using this app, make sure you press the 'Off' button or close it down properly to avoid continued excess battery usage.
