OPEN TASK 2
I extended one of images from my [Siteworks II] work to produce a gif.
I am in love with the 1960s and 70s minimalism and conceptual art movement, and I find a lot of my views of art influenced by the attitudes of that time.
For example, right after my first studio session in week 1, I felt very passionate and dramatic about art and wrote myself a manifesto-type list of 'rules' for my art:

REDUX
My redux work is based on my 4-hour task from Sem 1. I wanted to carry over the process of data collection, but this time, the data be more subjective to my own experience. I have wanted to make a work about matching pitch with ambient noise, since week 1 Sem 1, but hadn't found a way to do it until now.
I set myself 12 alarms through out the day (25th August) which went off every hour (10:00am - 10:00pm). Every time an alarm went off, I stopped and listened to the ambient noise of wherever I happened to be, to try and single out the most dominant tone (including ringing inside in my ears if that happened), and record myself matching its pitch using my voice.

I didn't have a clear plan of what to do with the recordings so I initially tried matching them to notes on the piano, and writing them down on a stave. But in doing so, I realised that some of the tones sat between semitones (eg, 3, 11) , which the standard set of notes in Western music cannot accomodate for.
So, I then sang each of these tones into a pitch tuner app on my phone to measure their frequencies, which provided a more accurate visual representation of the data. I then put this data into a scatter graph.
I did not think the location of each sound needed to be indicated in the graph, because it was not a variable I was interested in.
When displaying this work, I want to map out the points to scale (using circular black stickers), on the available wall space.
By plotting the points at a large scale, without the gridlines to give it context, I'm hoping it will function as a 'spacial' installation, where the audience will have to engage with it spatially, rather than just visually, if it were presented as just a graph at eye-level.
I'm still not sure if the title should be descriptive of the data or something more vague alluding to the subject of the work.
