City Detection is a workshop focused on inaudible sound, a reflection on the way of making and listening to sound inviting its participants to explore the hidden soundscape of our urban environments. An investigation into new sonic dimensions to discover expressive ways, usable territories, escape routes from conventions aimed at expanding the boundaries of perception by encouraging participants to discover and follow different ways of doing sound research. City Detection explores the sound generated by electromagnetic emissions (EMF) generated by electronic devices (wi-fi, microwave, satellite, power lines, tv and radio broadcast, mobile phone etc.), present in our environment and inaudible to the human ear, adding fascinating layer revealing the unseen and unheard aspects of our technologically saturated cities. This approach not only expands our understanding of sound but also raises questions about our relationship with technology and its impacton our environment. CITY DETECTION developed in a european city creates an unusual sound mapping of the city and questions of how the emissions detected affect us unconsciously in our choices, tastes and perceptions, seeking a relationship between the massive use of technology in everyday life and our emotional state. The participants of the workshop will be invited to detect and record in various areas and neighborhoods of the city using a device/detector (EMF-Terminal) specially developed by EXTRAsync that allows the detection, listening and recording of sounds generated by electrosmog. The audio material collected by the participants will be the center of the final work that interfaced with a video software will reveal in an audio/ video installation or an audio/ video performance the inaudible soundtrack of the specific city. The workshop is developed by Marco Monfardini and Amelie Duchow (Schnitt) as an evolution of the project DETECT by Marco Monfardini

EMF TERMINAL EMF Terminal, developed by Extrasync, is an innovative device designed to make electromagnetic waves audible: signals from mobile phones, Wi-Fi, routers, electronic devices, and all forms of electrosmog. We live immersed in an invisible ocean of electromagnetic radiation. Normally, we cannot directly perceive it, yet it shapes the environment around us. With EMF Terminal, these waves become a sonic experience: a new way to perceive and understand the electronic landscape that surrounds us. Developed with research and creativity by Extrasync, EMF Terminal transforms technical signals into a unique listening experience. It is not only a tool for exploration but also a means to raise awareness of the hidden infrastructures that define our daily lives. With EMF Terminal, the invisible becomes audible. It is a bridge between technology, perception, and awareness. Not just a technical device, but an invitation to listen to the hidden world of frequencies — opening new possibilities for sound art, scientific exploration, and personal reflection. EMF Terminal was specially developed for the workshop City Detection and is available for purchase through the Extrasync shop.

CITY DETECTION TBILISI developed in the city of Tbilisi creates an unusual sound mapping of the city and questions of how the emissions detected affect us unconsciously in our choices, tastes and perceptions, seeking a relationship between the massive use of technology in everyday life and our emotional state.
