“Paupys Guides” are five walks through an alternate reality in the form of interactive sci-fi stories set to the tune of soundtracks by Lubomir Grzelak, DJ JM, Miša Skalskis, Gediminas Jakubka and Pijus Džiugas Meižis.
These aren’t your ordinary audio guides: the five stories (titled “Meditation”, “Corporation”, “Awakening”, “Hyper Hearing” and “Motivation”) allow you to experience the nature and architecture of Paupys anew, transforming the familiar landscape of the district.
To experience this audio-guided walk, you will need a smartphone with an internet connection and a pair of headphones. Pick a story you like and let the voice guide your steps.
