Lectorial Exercise: “Media is Everywhere”
categories: Uncategorized
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.
