Ridgeway sounds and images project started!
Back to News | Posted on 04 Jan 2012
Software and location GPS tests for Creative Wiltshire’s FayGodwin/Ridgeway project took place over the winter break. As the winter solstice sun rose a team of walkers gathered at Barbury Castle and set off for Avebury along the Ridgeway. The team was drawn from the growing network of digital artists and creatives supporting the project.
The purpose of the walk was to test a GPS linked app and to define zones for clustering images. The app will ultimately provide an audio experience for those walking this part of the Ridgeway linked to the points in the landscape where the images have been clustered. The clustered images will be curated for display with soundscapes by music technology students created from location recordings at the forthcoming installation in Trowbridge.
The 3G signal was strong enough to provide accurate GPS along this section of the walk, successfully triggering the audio samples at the key points. The zones for clustering images for this section have been identified. Over the winter holiday producer/curator Richard White has set up a Flickr group, to which all are invited to subscribe and contribute images, and a wiki providing an ongoing report and resource for the project.
Participate!
Creative Wiltshire is keen to engage a wide community of creatives in this project: musicians, filmmakers, digital artists and experts on the landscape and its history.
