Week 5

Machinima Documentary
I chose to explore the Expository and Observational modes of video documentation. The Pachube feed I chose to incorporate into the concept of my installation is a sound sensor installed in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia that measures the noise level in decibels in YS-Home .


In the recent terrorist events that occurred in around the world in regards to the power, extremist and religion I wanted to convey to the high coverage of human rebellious acts, terrorism and power of speech on the human mind. The expository mode of documentation points out a two paths towards parties representing we accept or rebel against the information received from external source with verbal commentary aid, however which this video I feel doesn't provide the "external source", more


Communication is one of the most important ways to gain, learn information. In my video this only focus on the way we decide getting information from an external source. Human are intelligent beings, we seek out facts, truths, ways to improve our lives and wanting to belong to a group or society. However there is a down turn to intelligibility, everyone have different ways to express their opinions and ideas making them individual, its the receiving party who acts upon it with either with open arms or hostility. With advancing technology aiding communication, information can be accessed publicly and quickly via computer, internet, mobile phones, books, millions of terabits of information is uploaded, downloaded into the severs very second is passed. When technology fails, humanity suffers. Our modern world is surrounded by innovations that are ultimately a double-edged sword. It is a long, hard and convoluted road to creation, but when it fails, it does so spectacularly.

Here, I used this method to represent different noise levels to what we hear.
Intolerable, Background TV Studio, Bar in Nightclub, Live Rock Band,  Office, Faint noise level, High hat cymbal strike, rustle of leaves.

Despite being frozen for some time, I chose this because its in Australia and very few had a sound sensor among most feeds. 


The feed has listed out 8 sensors but 5 registered sensors;
01:Sound-Sensor
02:Sound-Sensor
03:Heat-Sensor
04:Light-Sensor(LDR)
08:Potentiometer


I'm focusing on the sound sensor and see this feed as an inspiration of communication source in Pure War.

Paul Virilio's concept of "Pure War!" and my SketchUp model

PAUL VIRILIO 1997
“A MUTATED FORM OF WAR THAT EXISTS IN A PURE STATE OF PERMANENT PREPARATION FOR AND ANTICIPATION OF ACTUAL WARFARE.”

RAND 1950
“INFORMATION PROCESSING” “DECISION MAKING” “PROBLEM SOLVING”



My sketchup model is a form of communication device on a stand named "Beliefs"

Communication is the prime source on ways to express ones own ideas, beliefs, wants and needs among all life forms. However clashes of communication such as language, ideas, beliefs may cause unwanted opinions resulting to exclusion, negativity, action.

This artistic structure represent speed, futurism, movement and idealism. 

The texture used represents the power of Communication.
