Noise Education Discussion, now with bold

Way back before leaving for Ohio, Ian and I discussed the Noise in Schools section of the thesis.
We are considering preschool as our first concern. Later on, the focus will increase in age until we get to the teenager section. For them, we will need to instill a digestable amount of noise history and prehistory. Cambrian, Forungian noise sea creatures, etc. Trilobites and Conalaria as musicians.

insert: I feel everything is related to my thesis. the beauty and harmonic vibration of the natural histories seems to coincide with the information inherent in musical noises. There are intersections everywhere.

Anyways, we made a list of possible instruments to teach (preschool):

  1. Conventional Instruments - Trumpets, drums, etc.
  2. Guitar Pedals - Ian has a better handle on this stuff
  3. Computer - mouse, see built stuff
  4. Theremin - Also provided by Ian.
  5. Built stuff - arduino board, dance pad, etc.
  6. Tuning Forks - suggested by Ian & Sarah

and Ian mentioned this and the people at the preschool loved the idea:

Video?

I can handle it but I am still working as to how to incorporate the idea into the thesis.
Think of this: children dancing and controling video feedback as performers and as audience members. This could relate back to the fluxus post along the length of Intermedia in combining the forms on the local level (happening) and the global level (the film).

Oscillators and miscommunicated TV's,
It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Hi Ronen,

I love the idea of children's "happening." That would be great to watch, and it seems to capture the spirit of what you are doing. (The kids are another dimension of noise in the system -- very unpredictable.)

Best,
Andy
