I continue to be involved with Locus Sonus, a live audio streaming consortium based in France. I stream from my UMBC office, contributing the Baltimore node. A “sound map” points to the streams, distributed from around the world. Currently held over is the exhibition “City Sonic” in Mons: http://www.digitalmcd.com/2011/08/22/festival-international-des-arts-sonores-city-sonic-du-27-aout-au-11-septembre-a-mons/
City Sonic is a course of sound installations which spreads in six locations in the downtown area of Mons (BAM, Maison Madness, Machine with Water, Salle Saint-Georges, Médiathèque and site of the old Slaughter-houses). Installation and creations of international artists such as Hans Peter Kuhn (Al), David Renggli (CH), Jim Shaw (the USA), Saâdane Afif (Fr), Yvat Collective (Ro)… and French nationals such as François Martig, Locus Sonus, Gauthier Keyaerts.

Coming at the end of September, a new Locus Sonus installation in Brussels:
Festival Todaysart - MyCityLab, International Festival Beyond Art in Gare du Midi, Brussels, Belgium
September 28 - October 2, 2011
MyCityLab : It is a user-driven innovation network which brings together artists, technologists, philosophers and citizens to investigate on how particularly social, locative and mobile network infrastructure and mobile devices can contribute to new ways of travelling through the city, dealing with locations and people.
