Soundbagism, 2004

Sound recording equipment in a travel bag records its journey from airport check-in to take-off, without being noticed by airport security. Then it plays a composition of the recordings at the destination – from the travel bag, of course.

I have been experimenting with video recordings of my walks, but now have been considering audio recording of travel as well, so this comes as an interesting reference. It is also of relevance for me of how sound is “bagged” that relates to my exploration of encounters between sound and objects.
