Maia Urstad | Babel Underground – concert installation for a tunnel and multiple languages

Visitors from 63 countries – imagine this multitude of languages spoken simultaneously, surrounded by a soundscape of slow atmospheric soundwaves, mixed with unintended radiophonic sounds. This is what the 2017 Bonn city sound artist, Maia Urstad, will present us with during her two-day installation in the tunnel connecting the WCCB and the former Parliament (Bundestag) building at the Global Media Forum 2017.

A project by bonn hoeren of the Beethoven Foundation for Art and Culture of the Federal City of Bonn.

DW recommends

Deutsche Welle to be reflected in new sound installation

Deutsche Welle's Bonn headquarters have a long history of creating radio in 30 languages from around the world. For the city's newly appointed sound artist, Norwegian Maia Urstad, the broadcaster is a playground. (28.03.2017)
