Project Statement


Our project concerning the present and “being in time with the city of Paris” will infer a sound installation. This will infer the auditory sense and imagination. We are currently individually recording sounds around Paris that reflect each of our environment. We intend to record background noises that we commonly disregard and evoke the listener to reflect on elements of life we take for granted. Inspiration from Pipilotti Rist will infer in terms of the environments she creates for her installations. We likewise want to create a divergent and comfortable environment. The difference in the audio will be a factor of time and its passing. Subsequent, we will collaboratively listen to our individual recordings and make a selection and also consider the order of the recordings. We may use several speakers for our installation around the audience or create compositions of similar sounds from each speaker. Research conducted to enhance our work will infer art research on other sound artists and experimental research.

 

 

 


First Prototype and Process


-2 prototype one by each.
-consider these being played at the same time with distance apart,
hence the perception each viewer has is different and unique.
Feedback from Prototype critique:
-mixed reality experience
-consider the even larger gap between speakers
-more closed off space/corner to keep the attention span of viewers.
-threshold on how far you can push perception.
