“ The future of the web is mobile” “ The Internet used to be something that you kept in one place. It sat idly by in your office while you lived out your life with only the occasional need to fire up the connection through your phone line and check an email address that no one ever sent anything to.” “ The future of the web is not mobile, it is ubiquitous.”

“ the way the street feels may soon be defined by what cannot be seen with the naked eye ” – Dan Hill ‘ The Street As Platform’

Victoria St Soundwalk This piece experiments, loosely, with the format of the soundwalk, and is intended to accompany a stroll down Victoria St. It is composed entirely of recordings made on, or about, Victoria St, including those made around the time of the protests and my own field recordings from 2007. It draws extensively from recordings used by permission from the documentary maker Pat Fiske. http://sitesandsounds.net.au

Not to find yourself in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance – nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city – as one loses oneself in a forest – that calls for quite a different kind of schooling Walter Benjamin Thank you Sarah Barns Sitelines Media [email_address] http://sitesandsounds.net.au
