After having time in class today to brainstorm ideas for our assignment 2 concepts, I feel as though I am on track. I spoke a few through to Robbie and he gave me further pointers into what to explore exactly within my main concepts.

My current ideas for assignment 2:

• Something to do with light/shadows/direction
• Noticing the unnoticeable – spider webs in the garden,
• Structure, dimensioning in the garden e.g.
• The idea of an empty space actually being really full …. Exploring that in detail, observe different
  Reverb – understanding space having dimensions, being able to hold stuff, get a sense of there being a body of space that has a thickness to it.
  Do you need human body and sound to make something have a sense of fullness – when it’s vacated is it empty? Emptiness tied to our selfishness, humanity is key to emptiness.
  Turning radio tv on to keep fullness – emptiness fills silence.
  Challenging emptiness.
• Symmetry – relating more to colour
• Repetition – Similar to patterns, but more consistent and obvious
• Coming alive – the idea of visualising a story or just an action through listening to the sounds and putting your generic everyday experiences into play (e.g. listening to someone having a shower in the bathroom, visualising step by step)
• Mundane – Boring stuff, everyday reality – so mundane that it could drive you insane, triggers anxiety when observing fully – noticed when I did my home experiment…. The twitch of the light being the same as my eye…
  Mundane actions traced from something that is natural.
  What we take for granted.
  Inactive – background to it is active (turning a light switch on).
  Mundane can turn into a possibility.
  Luxury of boredom – home being the centre of boredom.
  Plain wall boring – finding the excitement within boring things/boredom.
• Patterns – sound rhythms, patterns the shadows make in the garden (checked from the fence and chair) – rather than finding the pattern, looking and noticing the irregular
• Feelings – feelings or emotions triggered through certain colours or sound….
