Virtual Walk Oslo
Oslo is the norwegian capital and one of the scandinavian cities where digital services, public internet, RFID identification, surveillance cameras etc. are everywhere.
In this walk, you are invited to discover a different und unknown Oslo, where electromagnetic and acoustic sounds of each location meet in 360 degree panoramas.
Commissioned by the Ultima Festival, the project started in May 2019. Kubisch and her team filmed, photographed and recorded acoustic and electromagnetic sounds at different places within the city, from tourist hotspots to remote places, from cultural highlights to suburbian areas. In post production the images and recordings were stiched into 360° panoramas and then linked together.
Team: Christina Kubisch (electromagnetic recordings), Eckehard Güther (audio recordings), Frank Paul (360° photography, video) and Tom Thiel (coordination).

Troubleshooting
If no sound is heard, it is sometimes helpful to switch to the next panorama using the arrow control at the bottom of the screen and then jump back again.
If this does not help, check the autoplay settings.
In Firefox under privacy & security / permissions / autoplay, “allow audio and video” should be set.
