ETHOS

I am a people watcher and that is why interaction is the focus and drive of my work. I feel over time physical interaction between people has significantly reduced. With Modern culture first closing down the doors of communal living, into our own personal worlds, everything at hands reach; personal computers; personal MP3 players; even to the extent of personal robotic pets. From there the doors began to reopen, but interaction as we knew it refreshed; a middle man is now required, ‘The Device’. I would agree that change and progress is important, but as I see it we are not gaining new skills, we are replacing. them. Physical interaction is comparatively rare to those of ‘the device’, and slowly we are loosing the ability to communicate to our previous level, creating age barriers of those before and after ‘the device’.


During the 3rd stage of ISD course I would like to design events which encourage physical interaction as I feel passionately about creating design for change, with my aims to bring back the community, whether that be through town planning or interventions which provoke a reaction and discussion. I am particularly keen on temporary structures and installations which pop up in busy places, as this opens them up for the ‘everyday’ person to see and often is a catalyst for discussion, inevitably flowing into the device interaction ; the news, networking and photo sharing internet sites, therefore creating a worldwide critic on just one persons vision.


I want to further my understanding of the context of space and abstraction of space, therefore allowing my work to become stronger and enable me to push my passion for creating discussion and physical interaction between young people.

24 Hour Representation of space: Inspiration

JANET CARDIFF : 40 PART MOET 
"While listening to a concert you are normally seated in front of the choir, in traditional audience position. With this piece I want the audience to be able to experience a piece of music from the viewpoint of the singers. Every performer hears a unique mix of the piece of music. Enabling the audience to move throughout the space allows them to be intimately connected with the voices. It also reveals the piece of music as a changing construct. As well I am interested in how sound may physically construct a space in a sculptural way and how a viewer may choose a path through this physical yet virtual space.

I placed the speakers around the room in an oval so that the listener would be able to really feel the sculptural construction of the piece by Tallis. You can hear the sound move from one choir to another, jumping back and forth, echoing each other and then experience the overwhelming feeling as the sound waves hit you when all of the singers are singing. ”

24 hours representation

I have begun sound designing on the 11 Tracks I recorded at the Jetty. These tracks represent 24 hours  of the Jetty soundscape. Once I have one overall master track it can be used for a potential Surround Sound installation at show. Below shows the program and data input I have been using.
