Ghost Scraper: Urban Sonic Activation on Wheels

摘要

In this paper Ghost Scraper is described, a solar powered, networked sonic activator on wheels. Ghost Scraper is an urban device used to enhance the way we think about invisible sonic layers embedded in urban space's materiality and making these layers auditory. Ghost Scraper is a custom made interactive apparatus, using embedded computing, networks, solar panels, real-time audio processing, on wheels, to engage the audience into participation and reflection of sonic evidence in the city, weather it is invisible layers of imaginary memories, or the electronic presence of ghosts in the city's material.
