Networked Stories

In this week in the Net Mirror (#NetNarr) Professor Levine is encouraging the use of audio to capture our thoughts.  Here I'm playing with audio and using the screen capture feature on Android (Samsung 10) that allows for multiple things: capturing my voice, capturing system sounds, screen annotation, video thumbnail.  This would be a very cool way to tell a story using a multimodal approach. This is a cross posting for #WalkMyWorld where I came across the " I Miss My Bar " website which allows customisation of ambient noise. This is becoming a fine art in the recording space. Today I'm watching the Australian Open Tennis match, played from Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is in a snap lockdown for covid reasons and no audience is allowed at the stadiums but the matches can go ahead. As I watch the telecast, there is fake ambiance added in, crowds clapping, murmuring and talking. 

What does your name sound like using code-x.live. This is another #SelfieUnSelfie project. Providing the letters of my name but hearing like never before. This echos the experience of children experimenting with language and sounds. Is this poetry?

' When we look closely at our screens,  what do we see,  both in ourselves and in our society?  And are the screens  and networks behind it  seeing us back?  What do our reflections behold,  and what stories still need to be told?'  from  http://netmirror.arganee.world/ In this empty classroom I pose I want a selfie - but not so I turn the camera towards its own black mirror. In this empty classroom the whiteboard is white the tables are clear and the screen, (the promise of the screen) is partially rolled down. In this empty classroom the chairs wait poised for some instruction - trees shift outside a view screened from the heat. In this empty classroom the screen waits connection with something or someone - power-save mode holds. In this empty classroom the light is harsh. by Wendy Taleo CC BY SA for Net Mirror 2020.
