Originally commissioned for Carleton’s 2016 Walking festival, Steps of the Sun is a binaural audio walk collaboratively written, recorded, edited, and programmed by Carleton students, professors, and alumni. By taking a placemaking approach, Steps of the Sun is designed to surface multiple levels of historical knowledge specific to Carleton College and connect them to global ideas about measurement, the body, disability, literature, elegy, astronomy, music and economics. It is also designed to sensorily reawaken the listeners living engagement with the Carleton campus and encourage them to ask further questions about its connection to the past, the various present-day communities of Northfield, and all possible futures.
