During my observations in Washington Square Park, I got inspired by writings of Jane Jacobs, who used to write about NYC Parks. As one phase of my project, I took my observations to different level and medium. I observed the publicity and privacy in park, and did this final visual piece representing the public and private spaces I examined. For the design of the piece i got inspired from the old game called Chain reaction which you can access through the link under the images.

Washington Sq. Sound

Throughout the process of observing the park, I observed Public-Private factor of the park, the weather, people, feelings and emotions. After all, for my audio piece, I wanted to create feeling of mind traveling in space. I used sound of footsteps, cigarettes, door and the things that I faced during my journey through park, and my journey inside the park. I reflected my blue feelings by a piano song. Which is called “L’un part… l’autre reste” by Frederick Botton.

This is the final presentation I made for the observations project which was based on a public space. I divided my presentation in to four different parts, starting with observations and continues with visual piece, sound piece and ending. As ending i indicated my hometown Istanbul, in order to represent the massive feeling of being homesick.
