Events
Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK
Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK is a GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music to illuminate the natural environment. Created by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist Ellen Reid, SOUNDWALK is user-guided: the path you choose dictates the music you hear, and no two visits will be exactly the same. SOUNDWALK, available in public parks across the globe, is currently installed in four California locations: Los Angeles: Griffith Park, Los Angeles: UCLA Campus, Laguna Beach: Heisler Park, and San Francisco: Golden Gate Park.
