A location swap is powerful because it provides juxtaposition, an opportunity to contrast two states. Attention is drawn to those characteristics which don't align, and to those that do resolve for unexpected reasons. We realize the things that we take for granted, and glimpse the structures that frame our perception. | A location swap is powerful because it provides juxtaposition, an opportunity to contrast two states.

'''Alex:''' As Kevin already observed very well, we expect a correlation between the things we see and the things we hear. The perception of our natural environment has always been multimodal, it always occured with multiple sensory organs at once. That is due to the fact, that our natural environment does not appear in isolated and independent modalities, it appears much more as a unit of optical, acoustical and/or other stimulations. The "non-natural" ability for a splitted human perception is only possible due to an enormous effort in terms of abstraction. Therefore works like those of Bill Fontana offer the possibility of a multimodal perception, but on the same hand play with our confirmed habits of trying to put everything in a relation. | '''Alex:''' As Kevin already observed very well, we expect a correlation between the things we see and the things we hear.

I think that the locational switch of sound gives the place a different emotional shape and therefore influences our rational and visual perception. It challenges our habits and makes us reinterpret the occuring phenomenons, which is an ideal mode of artistic examination. | I think that the locational switch of sound gives the place a different emotional shape and therefore influences our rational and visual perception.

'''Kevin:''' We have expectations of known things in terms of the kinds of sounds they're likely to make, and notions of what different sounds or qualities of sound might signify. When our expectations don't align with our perceptions, it's a signal that our understanding of a situation may be in immediate need of re-evaluation. | '''Kevin:''' We have expectations of known things in terms of the kinds of sounds they're likely to make, and notions of what different sounds or qualities of sound might signify.

'''Alex''' The need of re-evaluation is a nice point, because by doing this, it means that we pay much more attention towards something than we would have done otherwise. | '''Alex:''' The need of re-evaluation is a nice point, because by doing this, it means that we pay much more attention towards something than we would have done otherwise. | ||
