To transmite sound to the citizen I built an interface located at one of the tram stops at Den Haag Central Station who is conected with the sounds produced by the five diferent sources. The interface contain the message:”Listen to the hidden sounds of the city. Plug in and listen!!! “

The observers plug in their headphones in the interface and enter in to an interactive sound experience.
