In the first lecture of the year, we discussed more in-depth the logistics of the gallery. We created a document over the break where we could all put in our ideas for the exhibition. During the lecture another document was made were roles/groups were decided. James and I voluenteerd to lead/look over the sound for screen element of the exhibition. We are not dictators or deciding every detail with no input from anyone else, we are here to help guide, plan and work with everyone else in this group. The goal for this group is to have a supportive network of people who are all passionate about sound and screen, who are here to help and inspire one another.
I decided to do some research on showing film in an exhibition setting. Last year at the gallery there was a TV for people with sound for screen work. This is fine and does the job well, but I think there is a way we can make it more immersive/interesting when it comes to using the space. This is something I will discuss with everyone so we can gather ideas to try and utilise the space the best we can. Personally I like the idea of a dark room with a minimal setup using either a TV screen or a projector. I think the idea of a minimalist setup works best as it makes you focus on the work being shown more carefully. If the room is overcomplicated by objects, bright lights, sound from other exhibitions. It can take away from the xperiance of watching a film, which for me should be quiet and immersive. I will discuss this with everyone and we can all gather ideas on what we want the space to be like.
