LISTENING, ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE AND ECOLOGY EVENT: JOIN US FOR META WALK

What is a META WALK? 

This unique journey invites participants to explore urban biodiversity through a guided walk, where the sounds of the city’s hidden natural world come to life. Blending traditional listening techniques with the cutting-edge advancements of artificial intelligence, this collective walk will seek to reveal the intricate symphony of urban wildlife often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Join us as we reconnect with urban wildlife, tune into the rich tapestry of sounds, and discover a new perspective on biodiversity in the heart of the city.

This event is open to 30 participants who are eager to explore the intersection of listening, artificial intelligence and ecology.
