A new site-specific soundwalk created by Tribeca Immersive Award-winning duo Point A (artists Andrew Schneider and Annie Saunders), in collaboration with astrophysicists and the local community. Accessed in public space with headphones, the walk is full of 'was-that-part-of-it' moments, sound activated by location and time of day, narration researched and recorded in Austin, and live interactions hidden in plain sight. Just another day, regular people doing regular things and then suddenly, magically synchronous. Like an eclipse. This work was made possible by the Simons Foundation and is part of its ‘In the Path of Totality’ initiative and created in partnership with the Long Center.
