Three phases
1) Initial prototype
2) Live prototype
3) Live exhibition
Initial prototype:
Build the entire installation, as I did with SMV, out of laser prints (or the like), spray mount them onto foam core and study the movement around the works with a skeleton sound unit.
To determine:
a) Position of pieces and their height from the floor
b) Minimum and maximum space needed for the entire the installation
c) Order of the pieces: 3 steel, 3 ice, 3 stone OR steel, ice and stone? Break up the 1,2,3 or keep them together?
make all the heights the same or different?
d) Which sound with which piece? Does anything need to be re-edited, re-taped?
e) Position of the sensors on each piece
f) Position of the speakers on each piece
g) Volume of playback
h) Traffic flow through the installation
i) Attendance minimums or maximums
j) Duration of interaction
Materials:
a) Nine large laser prints or lambdas (only if cheap; current sale of $.99 sq. ft from supplier. 4x5 = 20 x .99 x 9 + shipping). WIll use these prints for phase 2, Live prototyping
b) Nine pieces of foam core
c) Spray mount
d) Twine or hanging wire
e) Working sound units with speakers and sensors
f) Memory stick/chip with sound = software
g) Tape of various kinds to stick everything together
h) Hooks or eyelets; grommets.
Timeline:
a) Find space
b) Survey it for time, area, availability
c) Get sound units made
c) Record and edit all sound
d) Get foam core
e) Get all supplies other than the prints
f) Fit foam core with grommets or hooks to hang; test wire or twine
g) Transfer sound to chip; fit sound unit; to foam core
or
h) wait for part of this phase until the piece is hanging?
i) Hang this over a week or so
j) Make them live
k) Retest the position, height and placement of pieces, sensors and speakers
l) Bring in traffic
