It was a special place in many ways but especially due to a curiosity that there was an airplane flying over this place like every 20-40 min.

It is a group version of Helmi\u00a0J\u00e4rviluoma\u2019s\u00a0method\u00a0sensobiographic\u00a0walk where a path meaningful to one person is chosen. \u00a0While walking,\u00a0silently,\u00a0we observed the path\u00a0with\u00a0all our senses. As an artistic practice, the sensory memory walk relates to site-specific art. The method has multiple roots. In its current form the method was developed in the course of the ethnographic work done for the Acoustic Environments in Change (AEC) research project, which charted local European soundscapes.<\/p>\n<p>We had 9 participants which was quite good number of people to walk in the city as a silent group. I felt save with that number, because the more people we have the more risky it gets with for example cars and traffic.<\/p>\n<p>When Saturday came we realized we will have a very strong wind which will surely affect the experience of our walk.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SENSORY WALK in WWNA performed by Sonja P\u00f6ll\u00e4nen and Rajko Mur\u0161i\u010d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ew_vLd7p2pI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This walk was related to our project <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/uef.fi\/sensotra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">SENSOTRA<\/a> on Sensory Transformations, which seeks to produce new understanding on how different generations relate to and experience their environment.
