1. Open Scenario:
The Radio of Songs From People’s Heads
– Calling on anyone to share the songs trapped in their minds
The Radio of Songs From People's Heads is a channel dedicated to broadcasting – and liberating – music trapped in the minds of people of a particular place.
The radio comes to life through a capsule fixed onto various existing urban structures. Passers-by are invited to pop in and sing their hearts out. Through a simple recording system, they instantly contribute to a collective radio of a cappella songs, broadcast live online – gradually shaping the community’s secret musical landscape.

2. Open Device:
The Probe That Collects And Broadcasts Any Sounds
– Calling on anyone to make their own probe and collect sound landscapes from their neighbourhood
Download the instructions on the net (very soon) and make your own capsule. Use it to collect polenta recipes, political dreams, [blank], whatever works for your context.

3. Open Mission:
The Urban Probes Series
– Calling on anyone to create new kinds of probes that collects all sorts of things and together depict the pulse of their city.
We're on a mission to depict the pulse of all cities. We invite all to think about what is more relevant to be collected in their context and to create probes that will get people together in sharing their pieces.
