After the tutorial and M&P lectures on Tuesday, I started to rethink about my design and environment project, deeply.
I was thinking to create a communication network (“political scene”) in the pubic space by placing unused mobile phones. I have been really stuck on what this network for (the environment – related issue). I went back to the earlier design stage and rethink about the available functions of unused mobile phones and primary concept of using a mobile phone. From the things i found out, I am really interested in the idea of communication – listening; not only communicating between people, also communicating with our surroundings, cities and environment by using a mobile phone.
I would like to start talking about my another case study with this question: ”What would we learn if we changed the way we looked at our cities? What if, instead of just looking at them, we could listen to them?”
SoundAffects was an experiential project by Parsons The New School for Design. It turned everyday things, from weather and traffic to colour and motion, into their own musical sounds. In New York, a listening wall has built in, so passersby can plug in earphones and listen to street activity translated into music. Sensors built into the wall detect movement, proximity, temperature, weather, cell phone activity, noise, color and light.
Ganbatte!
