The ‘geo-located walk’ workshop took part during the 5th Pelion Summer Lab for Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities (PSL), in the village of Makrinitsa. Its duration was three days. On the fourth day, the final presentation of the experiment took place, open to the public (locals and visitors). The aims of the workshop were to share the theory and basic technical skills on how to create a sound-based geolocated walk, to propose a specific methodological framework based on research-creation [that lies between research, theory and art], to create a collective locative narrative that could be experienced as an interactive audio-walk in a selected route within the village, and to open the final experiment to the public and explore ‘what happens when’ we walk-with it. During the workshop we collectively explored fragments of all the relations we were being part of, in Mount Pelion while we focused on the multiple sonic presences and absences both of the human and the non-human. Moreover, we tried to carefully save some ‘imprints’ of all those encounters, using walking and sound-recording as ‘technologies’ relating to the field and to each other. The final project of the experiment, “Echo/Locations” audio-walk, was presented to (and performed by) the public on the last day of the PSL and it will stay open and accessible for everyone –residents & visitors– to experience in the future, forming a medium of re-connection with this year cohort’s emplaced encounters, as well as a creative tool that will –hopefully– foster new possible ones.
