Viseu
Rural
2.0 is an integrated project of rural heritage documentation and
archiving, sound/media arts creation and cultural diffusion, being
developed in the rural
areas part of the Municipality of Viseu (Portugal) during 2016. The
project takes its motivation from the assumption that there is a need to
give
expression and density to a often forgotten rural arc surrounding the
city of
Viseu, which memory and character are also part of the history of the
city
itself.
After
a 1st version of the Viseu Rural 2.0 project developed in 2015, in the
context of which were produced 120 audio and video documents, were
created ten sound works
by artists from six countries, were produced five radio documentaries
and
organized a final retrospective exhibition that was patent at Casa das
Memórias
in Viseu, between November 2015 and April 2016, the follow up of the
project
brings some new features, including one that is now announceed SONIC
EXPLORATIONS OF A RURAL ARCHIVE - Electroacoustic Music and Sound Art
International Competition.
This international
competition invites electroacoustic musicians and sound artists from around the
world to produce sound works based on the Viseu Rural 2.0 archive, that is
being collected and archived by Binaural/Nodar (available at http://www.viseururalmedia. org/download
), thus creating a sense of exploration and diffusion way beyond the borders of
Viseu and its rural surroundings.
Each artist
can freely select and download sound files from the archive and add other sound
sources and sound processing, in order to create a sound work inspired by the
rural context of Viseu, which should be submitted (in .wav/16 bit format) until
