Mass Files is an archive of auditory urban landscapes captured around the globe. Professional sound recordists and artists were invited to capture a selection of their surroundings in sound of around 30 minutes in duration.

Sound constructs political narratives – it highlights the invisible, the unheard, the wandering and the weak. Mass Files is a sensory exercise, a pause of unspecified length.

Initiated by Veronika Spierenburg in April 2020, produced and developed in collaboration with Shadow Brand®.
