In ancient rites, Australian Aborigines already mapped territories by means of song in so-called song lines. In this way, valuable information about both their spiritual and physical habitat was passed on from generation to generation. This edition of Things To Come zooms in on sound and oral transfer as a means of navigating through space and time. Under the header “Oral Sight-Seeing”, scientists, artists and developers present projects which navigate through urban space by means of audio, and concentrate on the role of locative media for the purpose of digging up oral histories.
