Made in LA Soundmap
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Named one of the best arts and culture apps in LA by LA Weekly!
Made in L.A. Soundmap is a companion app to the first Los Angeles biennial, Made in L.A. 2012. Soundmap explores Los Angeles as context for the exhibition through interviews with Made in L.A. artists and curators, providing visitors with insights into art making in Los Angeles today.
HOW IT WORKS
Download > Press Play > Go!
Soundmap is a mobile audio experience designed for use in Los Angeles while traveling to, from, and in between the three biennial venues: the Hammer Museum in Westwood, LAXART in Culver City and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park in Los Feliz.
Excerpts from audio interviews with Made in L.A. artists and curators are placed on a city map, with each location relating to segment content. Audio segments play automatically as you move through the city, responding to your location. In between segments, music curated by the local collective DUBLAB creates a soundtrack for your journey through the city.
NOTE
Audio hotspots are only triggered in Los Angeles. Music tracks will play anywhere.
This app uses background GPS for a fully immersive experience in Los Angeles, but continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. We recommend being fully charged or using a car charger.

“We need more projects like this.” @JDkun
“It’s an amazing way to peek behind the postmodern curtain of Los Angeles, a city seemingly devoid of history and character and understand the hidden voices and creative presence not immediately obvious.” –Ann Xiao, Hyperallergic
“Love the idea of a soundtrack for your daily travels.” @DanUthman
