Situated Remarks: Attempts to use up a "rambler" site
Activity open to all and free of charge
Taking the experiment carried out by Georges Perec in 1974, published as Attempts to exhaust a Parisian place, the Spaces Guild proposes an attempt to exhaust a place on the Ramblas.
By situating the recording of the podcast in the Mòniques Space and using it as a radio booth and showcase on the Ramblas, the action of a situated observation led by Anna Solanilla and Pedro Bennaton will be activated.
The focus of this radio session, the situated observation, will revolve around the experimentation that the members of the guild in residence are developing together. Based on situated observation and involving the pedestrians of Las Ramblas, we want to make an ethnographic podcast in real time.
To make the podcast about the attempt to exhaust a place on the Ramblas, microphones will be installed in the Mòniques Space and loudspeakers on the terrace, so that pedestrians can hear what is being recorded.
The Spaces Guild is interested in focusing, delicately, on the formal aspects, the spatial layout of the recording of the podcast. That is, how to influence the dramaturgy of the podcast from the space and share their research on strategies for urban observation and perception.
