I would like to create a document collating each of our projects to date.
If each of us can provide me with a concise and pithy outline of your work including:
-
your name and student number and picture of yourself
-
area of interest
-
how you arrived at it (background to your thinking – the exploration that led you to where you are now)
-
the concept being proposed even if not completely resolved at this stage…an emerging thing is fine..
-
a copy of your poster – with text legible.
-
your review of someone elses work.
Much of this will be in your posters…which most of us took down..
Could you please send these to me as attachments via email at s3050465@student.rmit.edu.au ASAP.
It would also be great to create a log of reactions and sentiments undergone while navigating this whole “silence and other ways” brief…So if you are feeling particularly zealous maybe send through your rants and reflections on the progress of the studio…these don’t have to be academic or entertaining and can be out and out therapy or whatever- anything is appreciated – and does not have to be attributed.

Situation:
It appears that there was a misunderstanding and there were in fact 2 distinct stategies for last exhibitions catering -
1. Ben goes shopping and we all chip in
2. everyone brings a plate
Upside: we enjoyed a veritable feast
Downside: Ben is out of pocket unduely.
Suggested Solution:
Anyone who did not bring said plate can make amends by providing some re-imbursement payable to Ben at the next class (sum to be advised – but should be minimal)
Other suggestions welcomed.
Apologies for my role in the whole shmozzle.

After discussion on friday it has been agreed that we each produce a black and white poster (A1) which communicates your concept and chosen direction.
We will meet in the laneway at 3 to set up – this will include postioning of posters (PVA glue – poster graff stylin’) and set of audio visual equipment.
We hope to provide a soundscape for the night = rigging up temporary speakers and lighting..
Anyone who has produced sonic data which you think would be beneficial to the atmos…please “SAY IT” and we will try to encorporate them.
CALL FOR Digital AUDIO editing skills – ANYONE – hewie! your piece last time was rad! and we suspect Rohan and John (of invite making fame) might have some stuff up their sleeve- – how about doin us an audio collage for the exhib…
maybe we can arrange a meeting of minds early next week to nut out techie stuff…?
Liam can you please arrange to borrow as many data projectors and laptops as poss?

Hi all – been scoping sites – at this stage there is the old reliable McCullock Gallery, Rankins Lane (just off Little Bourke between Elizabeth and Queen) and also the old Harley Heaven Place on the same street as Melbourne Artist Supplies – it is empty and warehouse-like – but i think there is running water and electricity – i have a number to contact and will confirm availability. Pics to come…fingers in knots etc..
hi silencios,
anna and i (candice) are looking at how we can offer our stakeholders more control over the sound they hear – a way to manipulate existing sound in the city, in a particular space. we think that this personalisation of sound will make an intimate experience which becomes a form of respite or fermata in a soundscape of relatively large and distant sound. we already have a couple of ideas about how we will propose this for the next exhibition- to funnel sound into a small space (say like a sculpture with vents) and contain it momentarily, and then letting it out at the users’ discretion ( if this is possible ?). the other idea is about encouraging users to shut out city sounds by offering a medium for them to communicate their own sounds- for example a chinese whispers wall (interpretation open on that by the way).
what do you think – go on….

Silence and Other Ways
So far you have been exploring your ideas in relation to your experiences and observations.Now we ask you to extend your work in relation to potential users / actants that could be implicated and impacted by your design proposition.You need to identify who could be the stakeholders in your project.Think about the specifics of your current idea (or where it might go from here).Locate / find a group of people who might have a stake in your project and develop a working relationship with them [approach them, talk to them, listen t their take on sound in the city]This is also a design problem, not just a case of finding people.Remake, rework and develop the idea of your mid semester exhibition.Think about how you can use design to include real stakeholders – invite them to the exhibition, work with them.Start using the blog as a way of discussing your ideas.
21st SeptemberExhibition (fermata event two):Must be publicly accessible and outside of rmit – but in the CBDRevise and develop in light of feedback from stakeholders etc for final submission.
The book will be due on Thursday the 19th of October.
