The impulses that derive from the artistic practice can stimulate and affect urban structures. Especially public space is transformed through bodily movement and vocalisation into meaningful space. This makes the analysis of those concepts and their integration into urban planning processes an interesting and relevant subject matter for this paper. More specifically it focuses on the art form of sound art and its connectivity to contem- porary planning strategies, drawing from theories and concep- tions of the Situationist International.

Deleuze’s observation relates to a specific potential of artistic practice to manifest and reflect prevailing power-relations together with the positions and roles it involves. Bringing these notions into the context of urban practice, the potential of artistic work in public space is discussed in relation to urban planning strategies. Three case studies are at the center of this analysis: “meinstein”, “Under Scan” and “transition - berlin junction”, which all work on the ground level with the pavement of streets in different European cities. While these art projects are reflecting on complex and contested layers of multifold social, economic and political processes, interests as well as practices, they are also raising questions about the potential of art as active part of the planning and composition of urban space.
