VISION & MORE FOR TELEPHONOGRAPH
Vision :
I want to create a body of work that is in direct response to different kinds of sound harvested from both complete strangers and folks I know. This body will be made up of the photographed results from said people. I also want to collect soundtracks from those pools of individuals that will be the sound content I mentioned that I will have folks create art from. For the last part of this thesis body, I want to compile all of this data [sounds and art responses] on a site or some form of archive. [I have decided this will take the form of a blog and a video hosting site for the sound content]
Where I am @ :
I have the sites for where I will archive both the sounds and the visual responses claimed. I have all of the required materials to gather and share this data both online and offline. [offline examples such as : clipboards, pens, pencils, different coloring supplies, paper, a wooden box for submissions to be submitted into and more] Also, I have many ideas for this experiment to choose from. For example, I have a version of this that will take place in person, but due to the current virus outbreak- I will be using an online version of my concept for this project. Besides these two types, I am constantly in development of more versions of this general idea // themes. Many of which I am able to take action on now, as I have done with this particular online version.
Where Can I See It :
I want the end result [the body of my thesis] to show at last a good handful of sound & response of similar and different kinds. I want to have a site that is populated with posts that have the experiment type, visual record of the responses, who created the response and a link of some kind [I have chosen to use QR codes] for people to listen to the sound content each of the works of art are in direct response to.Â
When // How Will It Be Considered Successful :
While I do intend for this project to go on for a long time after it’s college lifetime, I do have a sort of idea of what it will look like when I will consider it to have accomplished everything I set it up to do. I want to have a hearty number of sound compilations online submitted by anyone; [no specific target audience, this is on purpose, I want it to be accessible for anyone of any type etc to both submit sound lists and submit responses] as well as a hearty number of responses to said sounds. Once my websites are full of a sizable handful, I will consider them partially complete. The other side of what I need it to be in order to be successful to me is this : I want to really, truely feel that I am providing others with a valuable experience. I want to push people into the unknown and see for myself and show to others what can be made from jumping in and allowing your means of art creation become somewhat up to chance. This is one of my greatest interests personally - themes of the stranger, chance, and sound. I want to use this project to engage those themes personally and to share what I enjoy about them with the world.
