Advances in cognitive science, sensing technologies, the arts and creative industries are paving the way for a deeper understanding of the behaviour of individuals regarding the land/soundscape they live in. Through a symbiotic relationship between artists, scientists and technology experts ReSilence explores the borders between sound and silence in a changing world by producing sound awareness in urban spaces (not only reducing the intensity of noise, but also considering it as energy producer and designing positive sounds, sounds we want to preserve and multiply). More specifically ReSilence focuses in musical experience design centred on the active participation of citizens, in the new silence of mobility, in the acoustic perception of outdoor urban soundscapes and in enhancing experiences for people with hearing and vision impairments.
