SOUND AND TIME

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

During the sound and time module I started working on surveillance. Mainly with my own webcam. Basically the interest started because I wanted to see how I would react to being 'on camera' the whole time. This was interesting because at one point I'm falling asleep in front of the camera, the next I'm changing my clothes and then quickly realising im in front of the camera I'm covering myself. These are all small interesting little moments. But when seeing all this footage together It became clear to me it was more about the fragmentality of the work. The fragments of my life, combining it with random audio files that have nothing to do with the footage your viewing it creates a contorted image of me as a person.

I wanted to create a website on which you could see this footage without really seeing it. For example, my head would be blurred, or when I'm in the image the image would become black all of a sudden. Or you could only see my eyes, or just my nose. Working on this website I quickly realised I again, had landed myself in a project that would require more time and research, especially in the command line and python code, if I wanted to do this right. Which is what I want, and I'm building upon this idea right now within my self directed research.

What of course was also still interesting to me, coming from the image and code module, was the wifi signal visibility. This time around I worked with just the sound of the application I had used. I walked the same route within my house with the sound signals, and when walking again I would replay the before recorded sound on top of the new sound, to hear the differences within the signals. This created a very distorted and painful version to listen to, and wasn't really anything I could build from. I just have to start working on my own signal identifier to create a new project based upon this.
