Derived from commuters’ listening memories of underground public transportation in London, Mexico City, and Paris, I created the online interactive environment Sounding Underground. This interface structurally and randomly articulates the essence of an underground sonic memory. Departing from Pauline Oliveros’ perspective on listening deeply as an embodied practice, I have considered both the physical underground transportation systems and the created virtual sonic environment as “utopias” and “heterotopias” from the human dream of mobility. In this paper, I am suggesting that Sounding Underground acts as a disembodied interface that potentially transforms body feelings involving “sublimity” left as a legacy of the Industrial Revolution.
