Description
In this project, I will explore how our memory connects to sounds that surround us and how sounds leave their imprint on our imagination. We are used to seeing this world with our eyes. Blind people deeply understand how sounds create environment. If we can feel or imagine physical objects, can we feel the texture of a sound? What is the sound of a city, a town, or the home where you live? What is the sound of Mankato in 1997 and 1999? Maybe it is too abstract to record, but it leads me to experiment with sound in the environment I am interested in how we react to sound and the images that we create in our minds when we hear something. One day, travel agents might use tapes of city sounds instead of picture brochures in order to promote a place. If we are overly dependent on vision, after only hearing sounds, would we still have the same interest in visiting that place? I am going to manipulate images and sounds in the computer. I also would like to present my paintings and explain how these works are related to my memory. I would like to invite you to enjoy my sound diary. I will use the computer to present my sounds and my response to it with imagery. At the same time, I will exhibit my paintings.
