GET A LIFE- Interactive street platform

http://www.thisiswhywemeet.com/index.php?/teams/london-college-of-communication/

ABOUT "GET A LIFE"

Get a life was a live platform set up on Hanbury street in London
which invited the public to experiment with social participation and human dialogue using different kinds of communication and allowing people from all over the world to interact and be part of the platform.

How people engage with odd scenarios?

We were playing with dolls in the street!

'Get a life" is part of the collaborative project "This is Why We Meet", supported by Nokia, between Laura Vent from the creative agency Wieden+Kennedy, the independent designers Pat and Trevor and the University of the Arts London. Each college of the University of the Arts had 1 week to come up with an interactive installation that would bridge the gap between two window displays situated in Hanbury street in London Brick Lane. Check out the link for more information on what myself and other 2 girls from London College of Communication came up with.

LIFT INSTALLATION - March 2009

LIFT INSTALLATION
BY

IWONA MAKUSZYNSKA AND CATARINA DE CHABY

Most people are not aware of the variety of sounds that a lift can produce. Piezo transducers, electromagnetic and binaural microphones have been used to record the lift's soundscape. The sounds are than amplified and played back through a pair of speaker drivers that are placed inside the lift in order to enhance its sonic space.
The position of the speaker drivers was carefully chosen as to make the sound fill up the space in an effective way.The sounds have been adjusted in regards to each speaker cone frequency response.

Speakers without enclosures are used mainly because they aesthetically merge with the elevator's space.

We chose the lift because this small enclosed space has an interesting acoustic and soundscape that can be intensified by the amplification of its own sonic space.

THEATER PLAY "I'M A LONDONER"

I'm currently collaborating with Alberto Sanchez on the sound
design for the above theater play.

SOUND INSTALLATION @ THE FOUNDRY

Installation about space and sound in the space. Virtual space is created through speaker cones as multi sources of sounds and vibrations which the spectator can see and hear.

This installation was a collaboration
with Iwona Makusynska. It was
exhibiting at the Foundry from the
4th until the 8th of february
