on Thursday, June 7, my New Media Collaborative Sound and The City students presented their final projects at eyebeam. It went really well, first with a critique led by Liz Slagus and Erica Stavis, with the students setting up listening and viewing stations at eyebeam for the next week.
In addition, the students had their final presenatations for the course.
This year, the students helped design the Sound and The City locative sound map
They were asked to map 6 square blocks of their neighborhoods in any way they would like, using binaural headphones created from the eyebeam kits. They went further, and created a flickr page with great photos as well as adding podcasts to the blog .
They also created a CD, Sound and the City 1, which is available upon request and contains over 45 minutes of sound created for and by the students (great stuff!).
The map will soon be opened to contributors. If you have any interest, or would like to chat more, please feel free to contact info(AT)undividedproductions.org or through this blog.
Thanks to all the students, teachers, folks at eyebeam and guest lecturers for a great year!
Students will continue to add locations and update photos, so stay tuned…
