This web site is part of the project Architettura della separazione. The focal point of the site is the city of Linz itself, which is analyzed in an interplay of acoustic, spatial, historical, geographical, and urban architectural studies.
The grounds of the VOEST-alpine Works have been chosen as the symbolic space in which to conduct this exploration. As a city within a city, as unique exmple of an autonomous conurbation within a place historically defined as "Linz": the VOEST-Alpine Works constitute an extreme variant.

This site is set as a permanent workshop on the net. It contains a quickly growing large sound and image archive with materials coming from the city. In the Playground Area is possible to play with all those materials both through a navigation on the Danube and also thorugh the observation of a nocturnal sounding sky.

If the Playground Area is meant for free sonic and visual explorations, the Archives Area contains all the materials ordered in lists. This makes possible to download .aiff and .wav sound files which can be used in the way you like.

The site is dynamic. It means that it follows the course of the day and the night. If you connect in the morning, the site will be basically white getting darker and darker going to the the night. Certain things can be seen - and heard - only in specific moments of the day.

This site hosts also the IET Interactive Enviroments Tools page: a long term planned project about extensions in the real world - and vice-versa - of net activities. Everybody are warmly invited to participate in this common work in order to create, and discuss about, advanced interactive systems between worlds. Here you can find some interesting and playful examples of this collective process.
