To participate, people only need headphones, a smartphone with internet and geolocation, and the event’s QR code. Through a simple app, the city of Bucharest is displayed on a map with different sound zones. When participants enter one of these zones, a specific sound begins to be heard. In this way, the route from the Goethe Institute Bucharest to Rezidenลฃa9, two emblematic cultural institutions of Bucharest, becomes a special listening and walking experience.
