Abstract

The research project is designed to create new ways of looking at the story of a city; the focus is to present elements of the city as an art gallery space. Mapping technologies are used to present information as an aesthetic image. This project will add the emotional context of the moment and location as part of the information aesthetic. The story of a city is an ongoing timeline of interconnected exchanges, thoughts and ideas. The stories and ideas used in this project can be taken from any point in the timeline and presented together as information aesthetics. Datum will be recorded via image motion capture and audio technologies to create image and soundscapes. made from the shape of letterforms. When the audio fi le is read back into a sonogram the sound wave created is in the shape of the letterform. Further research will look at creating typefaces based on the sound the letterform makes instead of any visual aesthetic. Content will be presented in various ways, using digital and traditional formats. The artwork can be displayed in situ via web based geo tagging and augmented reality platforms on mobile devices, plus physical representations of this work as printed and sculptural forms.
