The network of European multimedia institutions for kids and young people—u19 Create Your World, Ars Electronica (AT); Deutscher Multimediapreis für Kinder und Jugendliche – MB21, Medienkulturzentrum Dresden (DE); and C3 Kulturális és Kommunikációs Központ Alapítvány (HU)—is organizing “virtual visuals – sound:city:lab,” a project to facilitate encounters by young people with sound, music and noise in 21st-century habitats. What sounds and noises will mean in the future for our daily lives will be explored here, and a wide array of subjectively perceived acoustic phenomena will be compiled into a wide-ranging auditory experience. Young people will also be encouraged to confront related social issues such as problem situations and ailments caused by noise pollution. Facilitated by international media artists and media educators from the partner countries, youngsters will conduct experiments on how to deal with auditory experiences, and demonstrate what they’ve learned in the form of their own audible productions such as for example a radio play. Over the course of this 5-day get-together, an international group of young people between the ages of 15 and 25 will work together to develop new approaches to sounds and hearing, and undertake an acoustic and auditory journey through the 2015 Ars Electronica Festival Village. This project’s mission is not only to enhance and upgrade youngsters’ media skills, but also to get across how, in our daily lives, we are guided and influenced by acoustic perceptions, how subjective the individual reactions to and effects of these impressions can be, the manifold opportunities that can arise from them, as well as the stresses they can cause. One of this project’s highest priorities is to use content and technology to stage a critical confrontation. This project aims to make a sustainable impact—to portray young people’s perceptions of these phenomena via artistic means, to give them space to express their insights, and to enable them to confer with specialists in this field. Here, both kids and experts can and should learn from one another because all of us are jointly responsible for the world of tomorrow. In this spirit, we have to strive to deal in a responsible, forward-looking way with issues that arise in our shared habitats, now and in the future.
