 '''◦ How does the sentence “The medium is the message” by Marshall McLuhan applies to your practice? Comment on this quote in the context of your own work and in regards to this transcontinental collaboration, etc.'''

-the different approaches and intentions in art and our cultural and locational differences in our class, aswell as the limitations and barriers of education and life situations, the short timewindow of working together, etc.. should be considered as a gain for letting something interesting grow, not the opposite.
+and therefor the different approaches and intentions in art and our cultural and locational differences in our class, aswell as the limitations and barriers of education and life situations, the short timewindow of working together, etc.. should be considered as a gain for letting something interesting grow, not the opposite.
 when thinking about myself, a lack of knowledge or an indifferent view of the obvious intention of things often leads me to unintended ideas, which is what i've started to looking for intentionally.
-so if i have to see the broader person of McLuhan, i would have to disagree with my own conclusions, the changes i could predict now would force me to do that. and i can't do that easily. so my thoughts will be detached from his appearance as a person and as an unintended side effect of his quote. that is all.

-i think it gets easier for me nowadays to seperate audio and visuals, and with the whole media easier for everyone to not hear or not see something. so i have to question artistic power of exchanging one soundscape with another without putting it in a broader context.

 experiment in attachment:
-if a speech by someone would actually start spinning around me very fast, i would most likely just get lost in the event of a constantly changing perception of the sound and focus on either the aesthetics or the quality of the movement. then the voice turns into a monotonous ~0.5sec long tone in a fixed position with both short attack and release slowly emerging into a sustaining operette voice and transforming again in "pure" speech. a full circle.
+if a speech by someone would actually start spinning around me very fast, i would most likely just get lost in the event of a constantly changing perception of the sound and focus on either the aesthetics or the quality of the movement. change the voice into a monotonous ~0.5sec long tone in a fixed position with both short attack and release and you got your sound af emergency. this could slowly emerge into a sustaining operette voice and transforming again in "pure" speech to create a full a full circle of perceiving sound.
 but i'm unsure about the actual impact on our perceptions by an experiment like this, especially if your expectations are already formed in any way and you're sitting in a room with several loudspeakers and someone presses "play". also you would focus on the changes and shifts so no realistic comprehention of a situation could be generated.
-while i think a conditioning and/or experiments could be fruitful on the aesthetic and communicative side, our ears for danger and awareness are more connected to a physical reaction, caused by the subconsciousness. some people wake up by the sound of their favourite song played by their mobile phone, but i doubt that several experiences of an unexpected sound of a lion shouting at you (maybe through a public sound installation), would affect the risk of surviving your next safari at all.
