This project is an effort to prompt people to re-evaluate, or "re-see" the everyday spaces that they move through.  Designed for a vacant lot or exterior space in the city, the piece reacts to human presence with a variety of sounds intended to encourage this "re-seeing".  In one site, might react to a passing pedestrian with the recitation of the ownership history of a vacant building; in another, it might offer an oral history of what used to stand on a vacant lot.

Design Progress

We have addressed some concerns that arose in feedback to our midterm presentation. One of these concerns is about working with actual sound. This is the next step that we plan to take, and first we must decide where to place the speakers. One option could be to mount them on the train, but that will add bulk to the [moving] train part. Another option is to mount the speaker in the station, which may end up being the more viable option.

We were inspired to develop a project of interactive lights for a Burning Man art car but we have decided to decouple them from this context in exchange for one of a dim lit museum wall similar to something that can be replicated inside the classroom where our class takes place.

The progress report is attached below.
