Berlin, 2005
Assignment of ‘Okkupation’, a manifestation about urban public space
Location:
Saalbau theater and the underground drain system on Richardplatz, Neukölln
The research of Norbert Mayer showed a connection between measurements of vibrancies that he found on several locations in Neukölln. These locations were all placed on a straight line that crossed Berlin, the so called Berlin meridian. The different sounds put together formed a part of an old indian song. We found Mayers personal mythology worth being archived for the inhabitants of the Berlin community.
To get his story known we published Mayer’s research results, his interpretation of the sounds and the messages he found, including an interview with him in theater Saalbau in Neukoelln. The old indian song was made hearable in the drain system of Berlin.
