Virtual Walk Oslo
In dialogue with Christina Kubisch Ultima’s artistic director Thorbjørn Tønder Hansen developed the idea of a virtual Electrical Walk in the city of Oslo.
The project started in May 2019. A 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.
You are invited to discover a different und unknown Oslo, where electromagnetic and acoustic sounds of each location meet in 360 degree panoramas.
Oslo is a scandinavian capital in which digital services, public internet, RFID identification, surveillance cameras, fluorescent lighting, radar systems, anti-theft security devices, mobile phones, tram cables, antennae, navigation systems, minibanks and neon advertising are everywhere.
Team: Christina Kubisch (electromagnetic recordings), Eckehard Güther (audio recordings), Frank Paul (360° photography, video) und 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.
