an audio bus trip for Albi
Enter the inner voice. **
Poetics of Commute is an invitation to an inner soliloquy reflecting upon author’s poetic relevance of being in transit—focuses on the experience as a passenger in a public transportation as an everyday mundane activity that can be a transformative experience of lived moment, memories, and that can transform the mind's navigation through an infinite number of paths, real or imagined, metaphysical or literal.
The audio shuttle bus trip is a form of audio walk that is conceptualized sight-specifically for the city of Albi in France during the micro-residency Topographies Sonores. The passengers are expected to take the shuttle bus from the bus stop at Lices Pompidou and listen to the given track throughout the journey and enter the realm of the author's train of thoughts.
