”Friday evenings at six o’clock” is a virtual monument, in dialogue with the physical monument ”535” by Ismo Kajander erected in Turku 1994. It is an audio-visual art work made available through extended reality (XR) technology, that is possible to view through a mobile device, a telephone and headphones, or a XR headset.
It consists of a spatial music composition, created from site specific recordings, that is developed to an interactive immersive experience.
The work is presented at the Aboagora symposium held in Turku 29 of August 2024. Simultaneously it is presented at Ringön in Gothenburg, as a part of the Kaomi Art Island, 30-31 of august 2024.
