JULY
Final show response
Preparing for the 2006 final show was a very beneficial experience. I learned some important lessons. There is very little time so it is important to be organised and have a structured plan. It helps to have your own tools, and if I need to build something that is beyond my own personal skill level, plan for someone to help me.
Such a large open plan space has serious consequences for sound based work. The private view is very crowded so sound gets lost. I don’t think projecting visuals with speakers works in the open space. I don’t feel too good about headphones either. People are reluctant to pick them up as listening with them is a very personal experience. I’m tending towards building an enclosed cinema space with comfortable seating and good sound-proofing. Alex is interested in participating in this and hopefully so are some of the new students. If we pool our resources, we can get great a quality projector, screen and speakers.
