GIRO of the SPIRAL

Racing the beach with your favorite Soundbikes

GIRO of the Spiral invites the audience on a digital ride through the city. Vienna becomes an imaginary race track, where the bicycle becomes a marble, instrument, and avatar. What drives the sound of your city? How can public space be reclaimed through sound art, performance, and collective cycling? GIRO of the Spiral draws inspiration from an old Italian summer game, Giro d’Italia con le biglie. In this game, a sandy track is laden with climbs, jumps, holes, and parabolic waves. Feel the sand in your hands as your marble enters the spiral!

Giro of the SPIRAL is a participatory installation by Conny Zenk and Martina Moro. SPIRAL BIKE Soundtrack by Jakob Schauer.
