Lectorial Exercise: “Media is Everywhere”

For an hour my group walked around Melbourne central recording all the meditated interactions and communications of media.

UP HIGH:

  • Master Foods aesthetic billboard
  • Electronic billboard revealing the latest news
  • ‘The Mould’ a cloud that changes size depending on how many people are in Melbourne central

ON THE GROUND:

  • Girl on the floor on her laptop
  • Rug advertising Melbourne Central Bar 
  • Projection of store label onto the ground

MID-GROUND:

  • Electronic billboard of favourites chocolate
  • Advertisement of music festival posters
  • Information on touch screen
  • Different information about getting social for Melbourne central through twitter, Instagram etc

BACK-GROUND:

  • People consumed on their phones
  • Music
  • Radio adds

FOREGROUND:

  • Social media advertisement (for RPM Fashion) in regards to Instagram and Facebook 
  • People watching videos on there phones whilst walking around

IN YOUR HAND:

  • Phone
  • Facebook notifications

What I noticed when doing this task is that people are constantly consumed in media and that it is fed to us without even noticing. I would walk through Melbourne central and not even think about what I am being advertised but when paying attention Media is every where and different companies are trying to find new and initiative ways to get the attention of society.
