This is my first lesson in Expanded Studio Practice for 21st Century Sound Artists. Milo started the lesson by showing us different objects that are related to sounds, including tuning fork, Metronome, Vinyl. Personally my favourite object would be the Stylophone as it is a simple but interesting music instrument. Also, this instrument plays the brain washing song “shooting stars”
During the lesson, Milo had asked some questions regarding these objects:
- How do the approaches of media change our future?
- Are these approaches different/the same compared to how people predicted in the 70/80/90s?
It is hard to answer them in a few words. In my opinion, the ways of media presentation have been changing gradually since last century. From phonographs to vinyls, then to CDs, then to online streaming services. It is hard to imagine what are the ways of the media in the future. People had predicted that there would be flying cars in the future but so far we all know that cars still run on the ground in 2023. However, I would assume that the media in the future will be accessed in a more easier way and potentially consume fewer resources, as people started to think more about the health of our planet.
Milo has also introduced us to the “Audio Paper” and asked us to do one this week.
