The where of something by Laura Frood https://padlet.com/laurafrood/cb8jci0lrpsppts0 “What is missing from our dwellings today are the potential transactions between body, imagination, and environment…To at least some extent every place can be remembered, partly because it is unique, but partly because it has affected our bodies and generated enough associations to hold it in our personal worlds.” – Kent Bloomer and Charles Moore (1977) en-us 2021-02-02 14:17:45 UTC 2024-07-19 00:11:13 UTC hello@padlet.com The map of the land of feeling laurafrood https://padlet.com/laurafrood/cb8jci0lrpsppts0/wish/1153871589 2021-02-02 14:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/laurafrood/cb8jci0lrpsppts0/wish/1153871589 Lets have a chat! 20009644 https://padlet.com/laurafrood/cb8jci0lrpsppts0/wish/1155018883 Read the following, write down your answers, discuss them in breakout groups. 

Think of a place.

What is this place for you?

Have you always used this place for the same thing?

Do other people use this space?

If so, do they use it for the same reasons/ activities as you do?

This audio-visual exercise is an opportunity to approach art-making from a sonic perspective, using listening as a catalyst for creativity, a method of interacting with our environment and exploring sound as a way to create meaning in space. 

The aim of this session is to get you working within a multi-sensory experience, creating something visually influenced by the sounds you hear, while using environmentally friendly materials if available. I'll play an electroacoustic soundscape composition by Tyler Lewis. For this work I gathered some of the source recordings.

Thinking back to Laura’s reference to the artwork The Map of the Land of Feeling, maps and historical records give us ‘official’ information but are often stripped of real lived experiences, and of feeling. How can participatory art projects adapt or disrupt these more 'official' records? How can we add feeling back into these documents, these histories, these places? How can we re-humanise places that have been depopulated?]]> 2021-02-03 14:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/laurafrood/cb8jci0lrpsppts0/wish/1158832121 Gleann Forsa 06017018 https://padlet.com/laurafrood/cb8jci0lrpsppts0/wish/1158865441 Now, I’m going to introduce you to Gleann Forsa on Mull.

After hearing these facts, I’d like you to go back to your list of words, and make a new list, now that you know a bit more about the place. You might use the same words, or you might choose different ones.

The project will have other strands to it, but we don't have time to go into these today!
