How to identify them and where to find the six benches in its wider area Pankratiou.
Τa benches tell their story. Specifically, on six benches in the wider area of Pagrati, the interactive audio installation set up by the Greek award-winning performer Eliza Soroga and Theodoris Tsirkas has been piloted for a few days now, collecting stories of everyday people of all ages, residents or visitors. Their purpose is a peculiar "museum" of urban stories.
The digital benches are recognizable through the visual depiction of the trilogy that is painted around and on the selected benches of the intervention, together with the accompanying text “The benches tell their story. Connect! ", The website"digitalpagakia.grAnd the QR code that refers directly to the site.
The trilogy, say the creators of the installation, "was chosen to mark the visual identity of the project, as it is a traditional game that is more participatory and simple to use. When the user is in one of the six benches, can listen to the stories that are there, different on each bench, as well as record his own, lasting up to two minutes. All you need is a smartphone, laptop or tablet, 3G and headphones (optional) ".
The action is implemented within the framework of the This is Athens - Polis program and is part of the wider series of Re-Inventing Public Spaces actions aimed at reinventing public spaces. The program is a pilot and lasts one year.
