About the Soundfarm project:



Hangfarm (soundfarm) is an experiment to use cutting-edge technology in nomad agricultural setting to create artworks and to rethink self-sustainibility in electronic arts. The form of the experiment, Hangfarm is a 2.5 acre exhibition place with different natural phenomenas, outside of a village, hosting artistic camps, therefore developing the ground idea in community.
The place is also a former agricultural area, where the possibility is open for connecting electronical devices and agriculture.
