This was such a surreal experience. With an iPod & a set of headphones you are lead on a walk around the Gairloch Gardens. The way that the audio track was recorded makes it seem as if you are actually listening to everything that's happening and it's not just coming from a track.
As I was walking I kept looking around and behind me... I could hear geese overhead, someone running past me, a helicopter, children laughing...and yet none of it was real. The feeling you get when you are so submersed into something like that is completely amazing.
I highly recommend that you visit Oakville Galleries at Gairloch Gardens to do the Janet Cardiff audio walk. The grounds are gorgeous and it is an experience you shouldn't miss.
It was the perfect way to end the week.
