The Brief
Working as part of a group you must produce a physical installation based around sound. Your installation can incorporate built structures, and can use physically generated, as well as recorded sounds.
You should consider the relationship between:
- Sound and space
- Sound and person
You should also consider how interactivity can be incorporated or experienced.
Statement of Intent
Our brief for our sound project was to produce a live sound installation that users could interact with. I was in a group with Tracey Whittaker, Tim Stevens, Michael Wilkinson and Sam Scott. Tracey started the group off by coming up with an idea to do produce an interactive art gallery, which included sound. We would each individually choose a painting or photograph (depending on the era) of different parts of hull. We each chose a photograph from a different decade; mine was from 1945 when the Second World War ended. I chose a personal photograph of my late grandma and her friends celebrating the end of the war at a street tea party.
Using the Adobe Flash program I scanned and imported my photograph. I began to research sounds, which I could use to make the photograph come to life, sounds which would have featured at the time the photograph was taken. Sounds I used in my final piece where:
- Winston Churchill famous speech declaring the end of the war
- Aeroplanes hovering above
- Vera Lynn – We’ll Meet again
- Birds tweeting and wind blowing
Each of our photographs will be put on a screen in order of when they were taken. Around each of our screens will be props, which relate to our photographs. I have chosen to use bunting, sandwiches and an old tea set.
To tie all the screens together I printed out some antique style frames which I cut out and stuck around each of the screens.
