Abstract: | Public monuments have a long history in the United Kingdom occupying highly visible locations in our major towns and cities, however it is noticeable that a whole swathe of such sites have become so much a part of the urban landscape that it is to all intents and purposes ignored by the population in general. These monuments have a lot to tell us both about the development of style, practice and technology, but also a huge amount about our heritage; scientific, political, industrial and social, as well as and the national and imperial identity construction narratives dominating at the time of their erection. This project has researched and developed a pilot system (using streaming audio and fine grained geo-location), based in George Square in Glasgow, to deliver innovative new musical compositions that connect directly to these forgotten works in order to re-inspire interest in both the artists and their subjects and to re-engage citizens with a pre-existing body of work. This has the potential to enrich their everyday lives as a largely forgotten layer of interest, historical information and artistic merit is brought to the fore-front of their minds through a combination of the distinct domains of music and heritage. | ||||
