Night Walk for Edinburgh vs POINT.A

Download the award winning Night Walk for Edinburgh app on your smart phone or tablet and immerse yourself in the surreal world of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. Night Walk for Edinburgh is a 50 minute walk, best viewed at dusk, which takes you through the closes and backstreets of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Following a film on your tablet or smart phone and a soundtrack on your headphones, you will walk up Advocate’s Close and along a route that weaves around the Royal Mile before returning to where you started, unravelling a disjointed tale – part game- playing, part surrealistic poetry, perhaps even a murder mystery – layered with history, invention and memories.

POINT.A leads you on a bespoke outdoor audio journey highlighting the magic already surrounding you. All you have to do is be in the right place at the right time. Currently available in select cities only, our app is a tailor-made art intervention for each location offered. From transforming your own body into a radio tuner as you walk, to secret performances hidden in plain sight, POINT.A guides you through a hidden world - in a city you grew up in or are visiting for the first time. Choose the work for the city that you are in, show up at the right place at the right time, put on your headphones and let lush binaural soundscapes and narration reveal a world you might have taken for granted.
