[murmur] is a documentary oral history project that records stories
and memories told about specific geographic locations. We collect and
make accessible people's personal histories and anecdotes about the
places in their neighborhoods that are important to them. In each of
these locations we install a [murmur] sign with a telephone number on it
that anyone can call with a mobile phone to listen to that story while
standing in that exact spot, and engaging in the physical experience of
being right where the story takes place. Some stories suggest that the
listener walk around, following a certain path through a place, while
others allow a person to wander with both their feet and their gaze. [more]
