Bill Harris is a visual artist, DJ and organiser; throughout his varied practice an attention toward sonic landscapes and the lineages that would be associated with them can be found. Using these as a starting point for his research, Harris seeks out the relationships attached to these aural histories, ones that can display some of the many intensities which exist as part of the social and political conditions of being a human.
For this particular work, a question of citizenship and pleasure is at play, he has chosen to work with organic, digital and spatial elements, in an attempt to 'gamify' some of the different experiences that may be had within a city such as Dublin. The work begins with elements of installation, expanding outwards to various locations and tasks across the city. Download the Echoes app, bring headphones and be prepared for a walk to experience the work fully.
