Artist-led geospatial listening workflow structured by a Field Score and transdisciplinary methodological framework. It combines field recording, geolocated listening, public feedback, and AI-derived descriptors (AER/USS) to identify sonic space shifts and translate these into cartographic outputs for planning and design dialogue.
GEOSPATIAL WORKFLOW
Geospatial workflow overview — Scored site recording (active walks + GDPR rooftop logging) → AI-assisted affect analysis (AER/USS) & triangulation/indexing → feedback & synthesis (dubplate listening, public annotation) → shareable outputs for planning dialogue © 2025 Caroline Claus, CC BY-NC-SA..
