00:00Discover Rome through the sounds of the Jubilee, the buzz of voices, the footsteps of pilgrims

00:07and more. The Electrical Jubilee exhibition which opened at the Goethe Institute allows

00:12visitors to listen to normally inaudible sounds generated by cell phone towers, wireless systems,

00:19smartphones and other everyday objects. Designed by German artist Kristina Kubisch, the exhibition

00:26tells us how Rome's soundscape changed before and during the Jubilee.

00:56Visitors can relieve the experience in an interactive way.

01:02Me as a photographer I portrait this visible space and in this space we include the recordings, audio,

01:15acoustic and electromagnetic recordings to make it accessible to everybody.

01:22Using a four channel controller similar to a DJ station, visitors can mix sound material both

01:30acoustic and electromagnetic recorded in Rome in the Basilica area.

01:35Well I like to develop an application, a program for the audience to get creative and mix,

01:44do their own compositions out of around 40 sounds that we recorded during the project in Rome.

01:54The Electrical Jubilee exhibition will be at the Goethe Institute in Rome until October.
