Andy found this interesting idea that's really a combo of sound art and walking tour ala museum exhibition (via cellphone in this case). These tours are based in NYC, but artist Janet Cardiff has made her own works in several other cities as well (Pittsburgh, Florence, SF, London). In Cardiff's artwork, the viewer gets a walkman, dons headphones and follows the map/instructions provided. Melinda saw Her Long Black Hair in Central Park in NYC 2004. It was an amazing art experience. The City in a Soundwalk is the same type of thing but more free-form with your phone and LOTS of artists contributing, which is a wonderful thing.
