Join German multimedia collective Rimini Protokollfor a newly produced collective audio walk – Remote Copenhagen – that will take particpants on a physical journey through various transit sites e.g. Copenhagen Central Station. Wearing headphones audience will be guided by a GPS navigator. Presenting a myriad of intertwined stories around artificial intelligence and group decisions in transit, Remote Copenhagen will draw attention on the station areas as sites of conflicts and negotiations, on their architectural features and on the many different passengers, employees and local residents that come into contact at such sites. The stories will be accompanied by diegetic sound -recordings and atmospheric compositions created specifically for the places that the audience pass by during the audio walk. 

The audio walk is available in Danish and English.

Remote Copenhagen is part of the upcoming exhibition project TRANSIT, which opens on 13 September 2018. TRANSIT will focus attention on travellers’ different experiences, terms and conditions in our present-day world of mobility, migration and globalisation. TRANSIT will include an exhibition at KØS and a range of new art projects in public spaces that respond directly to their sites at selected stations on the route from Copenhagen to Køge. Participating artists include: Rimini Protokoll, SUPERFLEX, Runo Lagomarsino and Pejk Malinovski.

TRANSIT is supported by Nordea-fonden, Ny Carlsbergfondet, Statens Kunstfond, Knud Højgaards Fond and Køge Kyst.
