So we have quite a rough idea on what do to our media artefact on, which is an audio documentary. Bianca and Patrick have been finding sample soundtracks to put in the piece. As we progresses through our research with what was considered from Rachel, we had another talk in our weeks 10 and 11:
Ranging information from the past, present, and the future of sound history (Paradigm shift).
Research more on the future predictions.
Add more variety in sounds that will be included in the piece to give texture (with each of us; Bianca, Patrick and I have a go on recording our own voice).
Another one started just as soon as Brief 3 finished. As a group project, it’s required that we produce a media artifact regarding a conceptual idea, ‘Technology’. Therefore, Bianca, Patrick and I have been exchanging Facebook, setting up our G-Docs, and dropping down brainstorming ideas about what might be of our interest for how we are going to produce the artifact. By week 8, we have done a collaborative contract and had a start on an annotated bibliography that was due in week 9.
From this “brainstorm poster”, we decided to make an audio podcast-like documentary consisting the history sounds that have evolved alongside technology. Sounds that undergo paradigm shifts, assisted by Rachel while pointing out about a timeline of the past, presence and future of sound productions and consumptions. Hence, in heading to this direction we divided parts in researching the history in a more in-depth investigation to support the script for our audio piece.
This are some of the task that I’ve started:
Do a research about audio technology from MP3 player to streaming period (1990s-present)
Find further information regarding the future possibilities.
Write a script consisting the research information.
Trying to be abstract? This new two-minute portrait is about the journey, interests, personality and identity of someone I know who is funny in a serious way and intriguing.
The artefact is a self-portrait in a mediated form of communication about who I am. This piece represents my interests and my hobbies in daily life. My interests include fashion, art, fireworks, social life, the beach, lights and glow in the dark. Through these representations of my interests, I have been quite successful in expressing my identity.Continue reading →
Our first assignment in Media 1 is to create a self portrait. Not a selfie, but through mediated forms of communication about who I am. These are artefacts that represent my identity, coming from an artistic family background, embrace fashion designs and having the value of the touch to the nature. Whether it is the beach, grass areas or the adorable animals. To me, “Selfies” are…
This recording conveys how I study. Silence disturb me and noises allow myself to feel like I’m home. With the sounds of my surroundings, I am able to learn and study better. Clearly, I’m more of a hyper-attentive learner and work well without silence.
As much commitment as I have for uni, I just cannot keep studying. Sometimes I need some friend-hours and chill. So as you’ve heard the saying, study hard, party harder.

Some videos (linked to Vimeo) that defines my part of my identity:
In these videos, I have shown the view from my apartment in Melbourne looking out to my University campus. Being an international student and having the opportunity to have an education abroad have made me so glad. This is symbolised by the framing of looking out the window for a view of the RMIT campus. The other video is about my interest in anything glowing in the dark. The sound of children in the background relates to my artistic and creative interests since childhood. Blue lights also symbolises my mood when in hard times, I am inspired to keep positive. Hence, the glow.
