An intensive workshop where we play, rewind and hear with delay sounds from home and cities far away.
Pop up your ears focuses on the subjective perception of reality through sound, reframing everyday life details through the alteration of aural stimuli, playing with urban sonic opportunities and their parameters which are often taken for granted, rebooting the clichés of the sound apparatus in each of us.
The project is designed to comprise a series of field sessions where the participants experience daily realities through simple experiments and hearing alteration devices, followed by workshops where their fresh impressions are creatively explored (through individual and collective devising exercises) and discussed.
Pop Up your ears first happened from the 6th till the 8th of August 2010, as part of DIY 7, project supported by Live Art Development Agency and hosted by Wunderbar Festival at Star & Shadow, Newcastle, UK.

And, more recently, the 20th and 21th of June 2011 in Prague, as part of Scenofest 011/Prague Quadrennial
