Sound Tossing is an alternative type of street art that uses sound as a medium of creative expression in a public space. As the streets belong to the people, the intention is to appeal to anyone who wants to shape their acoustic space. While street art has a rich history in terms of the formation of the urban landscape, mainly through the appropriation of wall space, Sound Tossing offers a way to play with urban aesthetics through filling space with unique acoustic input. It provides new ways of adding meaning to public spaces.

Reinhard Gupfinger was born in 1977. He is an artist and researcher based in Linz, Austria who is working in the fields of Sonic Interaction Design and Urban Interventions. His work bridges the gap between wart, science and technology; his thematic priorities are the perception, recording and the manipulation of acoustic space. In this context he develops interactive environments and interventions in public spaces which integrate users in the creation process. Since 2008 he has been a student in the Interface Cultures master’s program at the University of Arts and Industrial Design in Linz (AT).
