PROJECT ONE: SITUATIONAL LISTENING
IN-CLASS CRITIQUE: OCTOBER 4 (WEEK 4)
Your work will exploit the properties of a space along multiple dimensions. Spaces are mixes of physical, material realities (expressed through acoustics) and social/cultural uses (the functionalit(ies) of a space, both on sanctioned and illicit levels) and interpretations (eg. sacred sites).
Select a specific location on the York campus whose spatial situation allows for exploration along these multiple dimensions.
Draw on our modes of listening discussion for conceptual inspiration.
Organize a performance between 5-10 minutes which works with the acoustics of the space while engaging with the space’s overall context.
The performance can involve members of the class as participants (as well as listeners).
Bring instructions or a score which would enable someone else to perform your work (be as detailed as possible).
