sonic research project by florian tuercke

urban audio - sonic research is an audio-experimental project woking with the urban acoustic space.
the research is done by using a special device (audio-unit). AU3 (audio unit 3) contains: resonator-plate, a piano string (frequence: 190 Hz), electromagnetic picup and amplification.
By AU3 the sonic urban noise is transformed into harmonical sounds.
AU3 was set up in 9 different places in Budapest. the urban noise, mainly coming from the sound of the traffic (cars, tram, metro) was transformed and recorded.

The (r)emegration of a bumblebee society consisting of 60 female workers and one queen living in their hive.

The Bombus terrestris (in common speech the Deutsche Erdhummel) is originally a species of the central european region, especially the german territory. Those insects, comming from german breeders, where migrated from Nurnberg (Germany) to Budapest (Hungary).

Even though the bumblebees left their old territory in the forrests of Nurnberg and occupied new territorry in a parkway in Budapest, the original dwelling was taken along.

The speach-flow ratio of the river Danube is changing relatively to the measuring points. As a whole river, the ratios throughout Europe are:

36% Donau (Germany)
18% Donau (Austria)
1% Dunaj (Slovakia)
14% Duna (Hungary)
<1% Dunav (Croatia)
12% Dunav (Serbia)
18% Dunărea (Romania)
<1% Dunav (Bulgaria)
<1% Dunărea (Moldavia)
<1% Dunay (Ukrainia)

The Danube is the only big european river flowing from West to East, collecting a variety of different languages and cultures, transporting them throughout the countries and mixing them together again.

hiergeblieben!

A few budapest people were engaged from noproductionproduction, a new upcoming german enterprise to stand around and doing nothing. The project was called “hiergeblieben”.
The object of the study was the sence and nonsence of producing and non producing Culture(?) and/ or material in materialistic cultures with a postsocialistic matrix (or vice versa).

Preparations for measuring the cultural flow particles with a new developed sensoring unit. The sensors were placed into a sample of Danube water. Outdoor experiments showed astonishing results, which will be revealed later.
