Sunday. 11.21.2005 Group Meeting
Alex, Michael, Mike, Christin, Alex, Thomas and I came together to divide our tasks.
Here are the details to our project.
[Administrative] MIN : communication, blogs, documentation and organization
[Domes_Materials] MICHAEL, MIN and MIKE : paper? plastic? wood? how are they going to hang from the ceiling?
[Domes_Tech] MICHAEL : speakers, amp, test speakers, placing of the domes
[Sound_Content] CHRISTIN, ALEX and FERNANDO : responsible for creating, recording, delivery of audio
[Audio_Engineering] THOMAS and MIKE : where does the sound come from? where are the cables? infrastructure, spatialization? connecting domes together
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Working with the lights that are already in the hallway, we decided to place them in between the existing light fixtures. We need to build 12 of these domes.
The project description has to be submitted by the 28th, Monday. I've asked Thomas to do this. I will have a mockup 3d model of this ready. Have one model made and working by the 30th, Wednesday. Reminder : we have a presentation to prepare for the 2nd of Dec for the guest crit.
Materials for the domes
check out pre-made big salad bowls in kitchen supply stores in town DONE
papier mache
cone shaped
To-dos
Thomas : check out the speaker, see what kind of sound we get out of those. Confirm if these speakers will work and put in an order of about 10 more DONE
Min, Michael and Mike : check out materials on Monday, 21st for domes DONE
Alex and Christin : work on content of the sound

Our initial ideas
Brainstorming
Creating a sound "pathway" throughout ITP floor.
Making people move through space, using sound.
Creating a sound landscape on ITP; an immersive environment.
Eddy's idea in a very social environment. ITP will be very hectic, with many people, talking, browsing through projects etc.
These domes could act as a "get-away" from this setting. Noise - cancellation system at the show. Zen-like effect, where people could get away from all the noise around them.
Directional sound. Ex) Sounds of race cars that would lead people to move in a certain way.
A wave of sound that is triggered at the entrance of the floor.
Automated sound loop as a progression. People will follow it once they realize this effect.
Near closing hours, reverse the process and direct people out of ITP.
Chunks of sound as they move down the path.
