Freestyle SoundKits are the latest of artist Jessica Thompson's works. Thompson is a new media artist whose practice encompasses sound, performance and mobile technologies. Her projects enable audience members to create user-defined spaces and situations within urban environments. Freestyle SoundKits are wearable sound pieces that generate and broadcast electronic beats as users move through the urban environment.

Freestyle SoundHack is a collaborative performance. During the performance, the artist will teach participants how to make their own Freestyle SoundKits, to distribute as they wish, using whatever sounds they choose.
Material fee: $20 (full kit), $10 (kit-amp)

This project is presented as part of Give It Up: New Work by Jessica Thompson, a series of three performance-based projects at p|m Gallery in Toronto.
