Group work Copenhagen/Hearing
How does blind people construct the landscapethey are moving in, and how does sound play a role? If we imagine the loss of sight, or moving through a space in darkness, do we pay more attention to sound?
We tried to describe situations where we perceived that sound played a role in the experience of a place.
Can we trough a literal description build a pictureor a landscape?
Under the clockLoads of people from different directionsin the corners and the centerthey create sounds and nervous steps
When they rocked the floating pierthe thin ice cracked, making a strange, high-frequent sound
If a heavy truck passed by when you wereon the part of the bridge that opensyou could hear a thump and the groundwould shake
I am outside, walking on wood. It’s quiet, the frozen sea has no sound.The noise my feet makes on the wooden surfacechange as I move over it; flat in some parts, hollow in others
Walking on falling leavesthe cold wind blows
Standing on a quiet squareNobody is around, hearing no soundonly hearing the ice breakingon the pond
When they rocked the floating pierthe thin ice cracked, making a strange, high-frequent sound
You talk like a robotReminding me where the stop isWe go forward on the speedy railPass through a vacuum tunnelBe, beee! Sound brings me backto reality
Under the clockLoads of people from different directionsin the corners and the centrethey create sounds and nervous steps
When the automatic doors openthe wind comes inSounds are exaggeratedFootsteps with wheelchairs sing
Everything is slow yet quietIntentionally low voiceMouse clicksSlow footsteps
the room had two wondows, one facinga heavily trafficed street, the other onefacing a more quiet street. Most of the time we used the noisy window to air outthe room
Walking on falling leavescold wind blows
There is a low, constant hum in the backgroundthat is the city. My immediate surrounding arequiet, I can hear myself moving over tarmac and gravel. There are children playing not very far away. I open the door and the sound level rise - more voices, closer. A big room. Someoneclimbing a metal staircase. Voices from many distances and directions.
The car passed by on the other side of the roadThe bridge’s vibrating I can feel it in my toes
If a heavy truck passed by when you wereon the part of the bridge that opensyou could hear a thump and the groundwould shake
Taking the elevator down to the kitchenin the basement you would often hearloud voices and lots of people talking as you passed the ground floor
Standing in the middle of the structureI heard my own voice reflected back at mebetter than people talking back at me
The sound of the shopping mall was a constant stream of dull noise.The noise was first apparent to me whenI sat down to relax
The huge room was very quiet, even thoughthere was a lot of people and a lot ofactivities going on. The sound seemedmuffled, the room had a comfortable atmosphere
I cant remember to have heard any church bellsduring my eight day stay
I hate biking on cobblestone
Echo and Kids playing football, runningshouting out loudFabulous tempo
I am outside, walking on wood. It’s quiet, the frozen sea has no sound.The noise my feet makes on the wooden surfacechange as I move over it; flat in some parts, hollow in others
Mix with tablewareplates, knives, glassesShrill noise
I am inside and it is quiet. Through a doorI enter a vast space, my steps echoing.I hear people around me but I don't know how far away they are. Someone talks, loudand slowly. Oddly enough I can make out thewords over the reverberation
