been looking at Bruce Naumans corridor works, the work is made up of long narrow corridor with two monitors on top of each other at the end of the corridoe, one monitor records the entrance to the corridor and the other shows a closed circuit tape recording to the corridor. I thought this was a really interesting way to incorporate the viewer in to the work and has been something I have interested in trying to do myself. With our sound based project I wanted to mimic the viewers sound in the claustrophic environment to make it seem lke the sound is coming at them.

For this project Ive kind of been looking at installation work and incorporating that with sound. Im working in the white room and im making a room  within a room with only my body width as the amount of distance to pass around the room.

 I want the room to have a kind of claustrophobic feel, and i hope to inhance this with the sound by some way playing back the noises in the room but coming from within the sculpture, im going to play around with this maybe try layering the sounds, not sure whether to have a loud constant noise or various differnt noises played at differnet parts of the room.

The sculpture of the room im making out of yarn, i want to make it really tight but i think there will be some movement which could be quite interesting. It also may not totally cover what is inside creating the noises so the viewer may get some sense as to what is going on.

With the sculpture in the middle of the room I like the idea of it appearing like a wall of noise, i think im trying to create a sound interaction.
