Artwork description
Games + Actions (for a Quiet City) is a series of public performances featuring ambient masses of volunteers, performing a cascading symphony of identical, democratic instruments. And we want you to come be a part of it! This is an invitation to re-discover the city, through sound, space and social interaction.
Be part of a community that shares ideas and makes new sounds through simple everyday objects and patterns, creating immersive ‘surprise sound masses’ within 3 iconic Sydney locations: Mitchell Library, Hyde Park and Martin Place.
Artist
Super Critical Mass creates large-scale sound works in Australia and overseas. Each performance of Games + Actions (for a Quiet City) relies on community volunteers who have taken part in workshops with Super Critical Mass to create these arresting sonic situations.
