Viseu Rural 2.0 is an integrated project of heritage documentation, sound / media creation and cultural diffusion, which first edition took place in 2015 in the rural areas of the municipality of Viseu. The project is part of the Tramontana European network of memory archives from rural areas, of which Binaural/Nodar is currently main partner and the municipality of Viseu is associated partner.
Viseu Rural 2.0 involved ethnographic audiovisual collections in many of its rural villages which covered a wide range of subjects such as landscape morphology, agricultural cycles, cultivation methods, the sacred dimension of the built and natural heritage, the role of commerce, social and political change, etc.
The collected material was later given to various European and American musicians & sound artists, who developed a series of sound pieces commissioned by Binaural/Nodar.
