Beeline
Beeline is a GPS-driven mobile sound art piece, derived from the 14 minutes long soundscape composition which has been a part of the Helsinki Bites exhibition in Helsinki City Museum since 2016. Beeline is about the long and straight Union street - Siltasaari street architectural axis and Helsinki city life in summer 2015. By creating a sonic portal to Helsinki in Tokyo, this mobile version of Beeline draws a route from Helsinki's old Observatorium hill to the Senate Square, then by metro to Hakaniemi market square and up to Kallio church and back.
