Ever since the early dada experimentations of the 1920's, art has participated in the emergence of a sense of "public space" in public places. By transferring works of art in actual public places, artists in general, and sound artists in particular, have undermined and reshaped our understanding of what an aesthetic experience is and have redefined it's relation to different ethical and political forms of being together. From Max Neuhaus to Atau Tanaka, soundwalks have made it possible for those who walk and listen to infiltrate the complexity of our urban environments. This research is an investigation into how these singular aesthetic events affect our experience of public spaces in such a way as to generate a shift from objective public space to a space that becomes public through interaction.
