NoTours – Enrique Tomas (ES) (21 Nov, 11am-6pm)
NoTours is a project by Escoitar.org that allows editing a place with sounds. This means that you can attach sounds to a territory and that later, when you go physically to that place you can listen to them. The trick is using our NoTours Android Application that detects your location (via GPS) and plays your audios exactly in the place where you decided. NoTours proposes an augmented aurality experience. In other words, you can add a new layer of reality to your place. You can leave messages, tell stories, create geo-located concerts or just share your thoughts.

The objective of the workshop is an introduction to the NoTours platform and the composition of a digital sound intervention in the surroundings of the festival location (outdoors). The final result will be an Android app that people will be able to download to their phones to enjoy the intervention. Not only sound artists but creative minds are invited to join the workshop!
Requirement.
