Specific to Site
This week we discussed brief 1 which is due by 5pm on Friday. We all described our homes, and spoke to the class about what we will be focussing on in our brief.
I decided that I was going to focus on two conflicting ideas that occur within my home. I am going to focus on the physical broken-ness of my apartment and, also, the qualities of the relationship between my roommate and I that redeem the home, and create a sense of unity within a shambled space.
I Am Sitting in a Room

This piece focusses on using a space and the space’s dimensions, surfaces and nuances to manipulate sound and dialogue over time, to break down sound into sole frequency, a timeless echo; an essence of the space.
Dusty found this photographic interpretation of Alvin Lucier’s ‘I am sitting in a room’ which can be found here: http://art-pete.com/art/i-am-sitting-in-stagram/
I found it pretty cool as it kind of looks like glitch photography.
After looking at several photos and videos about site and space, I feel like I understand the project brief 1 a bit more and, as a result, I am much more excited to finish off my brief.
Here are some links to more things we watched:
