For our final Specific to Site project we have been given the task of creating a presentation for Signal. Signal is a youth recreation and arts center located on the north bank of the Yarra River. The most significant feature are the e-glass projection screens on three faces of the building, and the 40 speaker sound walk. Since it is in a public space it has the potential to impact many people and will be quite a powerful space to work in.

Today a few of us met at signal to survey the site and get a basic idea of how it could be utilised. We spoke with the sites artistic director and she gave us a lot of the specs of the site. These ranged from technical details to the past projects which have been exhibited.

As a group exploring site, our challenge is going to be using the space to its full potential and location; not just another projector screen. For example, im thinking we could place sensors and have the work respond to the adjacent train tracks or river. However, before we draw conclusions we will gather the full group at the location.
