Analysis of multiple spectators, habitat reactiveness, display modes, socio-political impact and planning strategies are considered through a case study of my own artwork. I trace the challenges in this field using a recently installed interactive piece, Sonic Space #05, which unfolds as a functional interrelated system with undetermined pathways to real-time sound creation. This case study provides an investigation into the demands made by the physical world upon intervention art and the subsequent results.

Walks are mostly performed in silence at different times and unpredictable urban paths for participants. This practice, not always performed following the tradition of Acoustic Ecology, has become particularly important in recent years, and often carried by artistic fields related to the creation of environmental compositions, both generative and interactive. In this context, Senesi uses her listening walks as case studies to open up multiple perspectives of space and critical listening, as well as its auditive aesthetics to reflect upon author’s soundwalking strategies with feedback from participant’s experiences from the last six years.

This investigation is motivated by a desire to acknowledge and highlight the benefits of sound art as a vital medium in creating urban public spaces. Often subjugated by visual art and music, creative sonic experiences are still not fully understood or considered when it comes to encouraging social interaction beyond commercial or privatized use of the urban environment. Hearing is a constant condition of social being and yet it is only a public issue when there are concerns with negative noise or commercial profit. This study aims to highlight how sound, and more specifically, different qualities of noise, can encourage more social-political interaction within urban public space.
