Away From the New (Interactive Art Project & Video Game)
=================================================

Away From the New (part of the Open Studio 2006 project * ) is a collaborative art project and video game in which players navigate a simulated environment using their own voices as game controls.
Based on an earlier version entitled Organum Playtest, Away From the New was developed especially for presentation in Cairo by Greg Niemeyer, Richard Shaw and Dan Perkel of the University of California, Berkeley.

* Open Studio Project 2006
-----------------------------------
An international residency programme in (Downtown) Cairo, Egypt - exploring creative approaches to sound.

The project is inspired by Cairo’s rich aural environment, one shaped by the city’s diverse narratives of sound, sound-making traditions and ongoing explorations of sound in contemporary music and the arts.
