Write journal entries to these prompts
In addition to your general entries/reflections on tutorial exercises, field studies, and method reflections, respond to the following module specific prompts.
- How did deep listening affect your experience of the space?
- What about it was audible, and what not?
- Did the act of recording make you relate to it differently, mentally or physically?
- When you listened back to your recordings, what kind of information did you perceive, and how did it make you feel?
- How might greater attention to sound inform your visual practice (or not)?
