There is this ongoing project that Ive been following lately. It is a HK based project that involves writing, auditing and videoing. The name if the project is The Doomsday Phone Booth. The theme is based around the idea of phone boxes that we see on the streets. In HK, it works by inserting a coin, then you can dial. The idea is to have people choose a person that they's like to call and write a small passage of what they's like to say, under the setting of having the one last minute before the end of the world.
Audience get to write, and what the creators do is to find random people read the words aloud and they do the videography and background sounds editing based on the content. This is a collaborative and interactive project containing the elements of sounds, visuals and writings. The three elements work together and the script is being interpreted and presented in a stranger's eyes. I find the interaction fo the creator and the audience is really interesting, they do not necessarily have direct interaction, all they do is write and read. Sound is also a main element, I have never worked with sounds before in my practice and maybe I could do something about it for my researchled2 brief.
I then tried googling if there is any software that could turn images or graphics into sounds or sound waves. Surprisingly I found this website called PIXELSYNTH. The synth reads any white information on the black background as note-on. I imported the graphics that I made for each instagram response of describing 2020, and inverted them as the website reads only white information with black background. The following are some of the results. The idea works around with sounds and graphics, providing audience an experience with both seeing and hearing.
