Floodlight

SonicMaps uses location technologies such as GPS to automatically deliver audio content to your audience as they walk, just like a real tour guide.

Take a walk around Melbourne in the company of four storytellers using refrains of infrastructure, history, and memory to guide their routes. Click on the map and listen to site-responsive work that reframes the city and its many crevices. Floodlight can be heard at the locations they are about, or virtually, from the comfort of your own home.
