Making Sensory 2/5

Hello everybody,

Here's the checklist for this week:

READ the interview with smell/sound artist Gwenn Ael-Lynn, and highlight sections you find interesting for discussion.

POST a recipe that's somehow connected to you or your artistic interests: can be a recipe for a family dish, something you learned to make recently, or something entirely made up and concept-based. Please include a related IMAGE and, if you get the recipe from another source, include a HYPERLINK.

* NOTE: if you did not post anything for last week's assignment, make sure you do it now! Blog posts are part of course participation.

BRING your taste/smell project to present and discuss in class. Will you bring meaning to the sensation of taste or smell through visual cues, language, tactile packaging, human interaction? As the artist, you'll need to consider HOW we (the audience) will engage with the work, and how we can access your understanding and research of the material.

REMEMBER In the afternoon we'll transition into sound art with a lecture and workshop by sound artist Jacob Christopher Hammes. He activates all five senses through sound using hypnosis. Here's a link that explains a little about his collaborative studio practice: SYNESTHETIC COLLECTION , and you can find the website for all of his work is HERE. He will lead a group hypnosis session with the class (!!) If you choose not to participate in the hypnosis component of the lecture, let me know ahead of time so that we can arrange an alternate project.

Any questions or technical issues, please email me before the weekend!
