A Os-dioguide is a kind of audio-guide produced by a group of people, young or not so young, who describe and analyze a place, a work of art, a landscape, etc., with a commentary recorded in advance and which a visitor can listen to later while looking at something. - The idea is that this ephemeral group of commentators, with the help of an audioguide, will be able to describe and analyze a place, a work of art, a landscape, etc., in a pre-recorded commentary that a visitor can then listen to later while looking at something.The idea is for this ephemeral group of commentators, with the help of an artist, to create a sound object resembling an audio-guide, but which in fact recounts their personal relationship with the chosen place, work or landscape, blending official history, personal narrative and critical analysis.
Audio tour of the Louvre Museum

Restitution as part of Nuit des Musées on May 14, 2022
By a 2nde class from Lycée Maurice Ravel, directed by Gaëlle Bourges
High school students from Paris's 12th arrondissement met Bertrand Brie, Gaëlle Bourges and Stéphane Monteiro to discuss the show GIAB (GIVING IT ALL BACK) After workshops in critical analysis, writing and sound creation, they created a sound object resembling an audio-guide - a Os-dioguide! - which offers a tour of the Greek antiquities department. This audioguide tells less about the history of the works than about the teenagers' personal relationship with the place and what they discovered there, giving pride of place to their critical spirit.
Project led by Bertrand Brie, Gaëlle Bourges & Stéphane Monteiro
