Interim feedback

It took a lot of explaining for everyone to grasp my concept so I'm wondering if I should change it slightly. We were talking about those driving ad's that test whether or not you can focus on two things at once so I wonder if I should change mine to a similar thing

One Idea I got from the feedback was having my participant listen to two stories in each ear at the same time and get them to repeat aloud one of them afterwards. I'm not sure if it's still testing whether not you have a stronger ear or just testing concentration but I think it could work solidly and might be easier to follow than using a drum and beats.

Project Concept


In this project we were asked to explore our own and other peoples sense perception in order to design an interactive project that provides a unique and innovative experience. The sense I chose to focus my project on is hearing. Whilst brainstorming for this project I realized that with our touching senses we tend to favour both our left or right-sided hands and feet so I wanted to explore whether or not our other senses react in the same way.  I plan to have an interactive object that forces the participant to focus on what they hear in one ear even though they will be listening to a similar sound in the other ear. The participant will be listening to different looping drum rhythms in each ear and will be told which ear to focus on. They will have to repeat the sound onto a drum to test whether or not they are able to solely copy the one ear and not get the two sounds confused. My concept is one which we don’t normally take notice of in our day to day life so with this experiment I hope to challenge my participants with an experience that they didn’t previously think about and test whether or not there are left and right dominancy levels with our hearing

FINAL 25


FINAL 25

New 25

All except for the top row (which I don't know what to replace with yet) have been remade/re-coded and enhanced

Description of my project

In this project we were expected to explore the nature and extent of form by creating an adaptable system that enables fast and extensive experimentation. In my adaption of the project I manipulated a set of lines, which formed triangles, to form both abstract and contained shapes. I stuck with a Triangle theme in my project as I find the shapes three sides make it easily and cleanly adaptable.

25


This was going to be my final 25 but I got it printed out and the resolution wasn't high enough. I have been able to re do most of the codes but have had trouble re-creating two of the rows so I'm starting those two again and making the line weight thicker to make sure it's clear enough
