Soundscape

-


To support John Cage’s idea that “everything we do is music”, I created a combination of sounds and noises that I hear in my daily life. I wanted to explore how the things I do daily create sounds or even music without even me realizing it. As McLuhan noted, “we hear sounds from everywhere, without ever having to focus” (p.111). This statement stood out to me because recently, I learned that I hear sounds even though I don't intentionally try to hear them. For instance, when I am cutting vegetables, I try my best to put my full attention on how I am cutting or what the vegetables look like. However, I find that the sounds that I am producing gradually take my attention. So, for this project, I wanted to combine all the sounds that I hear from the things I do daily. From walking, boiling water, opening a soda, to clicking a pen. I wanted to show that the sounds we hear from the simplest things we do in our daily forms a Music.

 Jean Baudrillard stated “it is possible that very memory of the original caves will fade in the mind of future generations, but from now on there is no longer any difference” (p. 18). I personally disagree with this statement. I believe that this world is filled with differences. Fo instance, Lawrence university is filled with differences. The students and professors have their own opinions, beliefs, language and culture. Though, someone might argue that Lawrence might not recognize those difference by encouraging the students to speak in English and most classes are taught in English language. However, as seen in a lot of events in campus, Lawrence does a good job in recognizing and celebrating those differences. I don’t know about Baudrillard, but it think Lawrence community is work very well because of those difference that the people in it has.  Work Progress Update  Capture by me  Biggest Update Right Now I finally deciding on a concrete idea for my final proje...

Diagram

I’m going, to be honest, I had a hard time coming up with ideas for this week's topic. However, when Lupton stated “...diagrams often function to illuminate and explain complex ideas” (215), I realized that this topic is the most relatable to me especially with this pandemic going on. Disclaimer, I do not mean to be insensitive about other people’s opinions on the current pandemic. My idea for this topic is to show how I thought this pandemic affected me vs how it’s actually affecting me. How Covid affected me is a difficult subject to talk about as I tend to be biased by coming up with “it’s making my life miserable”. Creating a diagram or mapping on how it personally affected me makes it so much easier to see and understand without being biased.  The arrow pointing to the right represents how I thought COVID affected me. When I said I am biased about this subject I meant it. The diagram above evidently shows how it affected me negatively. From COVID resulting to quarantine from q...

Tatera’s Talk Reflection

Valaria Tatera is an amazing artist. Her artworks are filled with meanings and lessons about what had happened to indigenous people in the past and unfortunately are still happening. The fact that some of her artworks are abstract such as her red ribbons artwork but still manage to convey such a wonderful and strong message amazes me. Out of all the artworks that she presented that day, I think the red ribbons stood out most to me as an artist. Personally, it was the simplest one out of her artworks that day. Why did it strike me? Because through those red ribbons, you can see that somewhere out there, people are being mistreated because of their race. through those red ribbons, I felt like our world is brutal and is filled with inequality. When she shared her story, I already knew that her artworks are going to be inspired by her experiences. Through those red ribbons she made, you can tell that she wanted to have justice not just for herself but for the whole indigenous community. Wh...
