Abstract

While observing Chinatown, my group and I found that the objects that comprise the area make the soundscape of the diverse area. The various shirts, trinkets, and Chinese instruments create a capitalist atmosphere in a traditional setting. That is why for our project we decided to paint with some of the objects we found to make the most interesting noises in Chinatown. We chose plastic bags, shoes, various papers, and more: the little objects that make a larger impact on the community than one would first realize.
