Some of the new slides that i had taken didn't come out that well, due to relying on an automatic camera, due to time limitations in hindsight i needed longer then i could have set up tripod,etc. I still managed to get about 2hours or so of audio in which me and my father try to find the places depicted in the slides. the audio can seem quite mundane in places, but i find the ambient sounds quite interesting.

RESEARCH:
-Janet Cardiff (Her soundscapes/walks)
-Tacita Dean "Trying to find Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty"
-Melanie Friend (Kosovo War)
-Robert Smithson

I could have two slide projectors set up with at least 3 of the slides that match up well, or just the one slide that stays motionless against the archaic noise of the slide projector, which suits this project. i have the image on a crisp white wall (havn't decided how large to have the image, perhaps quite small) and then invite the viewer to put on headphones where they can emerse themselves in the audio i 'collected' whilst up in Liverpool.
Audio can be edited in final cut pro, then put onto a cassette, a cassette fits better into my work then saving it to cd, i want the work to be on walkman so the person chooses to listen rather then be bombarded with loud audio when they walk in, it becomes intimate, like someone listening into someone elses conversation perhaps even following them. surveillance.
