<p>The Offshore Tour Operator is a psycho-geographic GPS
prototype that guides you through the 800,000 addresses of the
ICIJ's Offshore Leaks database. The walks bring the
participants to search for the physical traces of offshore
banking within the architecture of various neighborhoods of
the city of Brussels. Thus, the walks transform into a real
hunt for shell companies, trust firms, domiciliation agencies
and shadow finance offices and agents. At the end of each
walk, a collective discussion offers a platform to
participants to share their experiences and documents, in
order to shape collectively an up to date image of finance
that challenges the very notion of 'offshore'.<br>

<p>-- Oscillation festival<br>
</p>
<div class="section-content">
<p>The fourth edition of the Oscillation festival is dedicated
to the question what it means to address a public, and how,
by changing the site of a performance, the relationship
between audience and performer shifts. Inspired by the
transitory nature of public space, many artists are drawn to
formats which resist the demands of the traditional
performer/audience dynamic. Experimental formats such as
soundwalks, itinerant performances and virtual events, allow
work to move into public spaces where it interacts with a
changing and unstable environment. A public is not
necessarily a crowd, and experiments with small scale and
outside formats are proving resilient, and raising
meaningful questions about notions such as public and
private, environment and nature, aspects of introspection
and connection.</p>
<p>Public Address System (PA), is an umbrella term for a set
of technologies that allow a person to address multiple
people simultaneously, typically via a system of microphones
and speakers, such as in a venue, train station, or
supermarket. In each case, the system’s design reflects and
defines the mode of address. In the examples above, a single
speaker addresses many listeners who cannot speak back,
defining a power relationship. As systems of address are
shifting online, the model of a single speaker with multiple
receivers has increasingly fractured, producing new and
often contradictory modes of publicness. By taking the term
public address as a banner for this year’s Oscillation
festival, we want to ask: what other systems of address are
possible, and what kinds of public might they speak to? By
experimenting with the system of address itself can we find
other ways of being public? </p>
<p>The festival will explore a number of alternative formats
for sound in public space, interpolated by concerts which
try to unpick the question of public address from within a
more traditional dynamic. These experiments are grounded in
the research of historian Elena Biserna, with whom we are
developing a publication due in Autumn 2022. The publication
will serve as an epilogue to the festival’s four days of
walks, performances, talks and workshops.</p>
