    Summary:

    An interactive site-specific audio fiction is set into the landscape of a city park in eastern Canada, experienced via an iphone app. Short stories by four award-winning authors are GPS-linked to actual locations where the story events happen. When listeners walk through the park, their smartphones trigger the linked audio excerpts, and they hear fictional events happening right where they're standing. This program is for listeners who can't get to the park: a virtual walk-through. It is what one walker hears in her earphones as she strolls through the park.

This program is for listeners who can't get to the park: a virtual walk-through. It is what one walker hears in her earphones as she strolls through the park.
