Museum of Portable Sound

The Museum of Portable Sound is a digital sound project housed on an iPhone that explores the small sounds of daily life as well as the soundscape of London and cities worldwide.^[1]^[2]

The project was established in 2015 when founder John Kannenberg was a PhD student in museology and through mostly private bookings, drew 1,200 "visitors" in its first five years. It moved to encompass video during the COVID-19 pandemic during which it also showcased "The Golden Record", an excerpt of images and audio that NASA provided for the Voyager 1 and 2 flights.^[2]^[3]

Kannenberg, originally of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a multimedia artist, curator, writer, and researcher who explores many facets of museology in his work and research. Kannenberg has been Director and Chief Curator of the project since he started it in 2015.^{[citation needed]}
