Workshop 3: Inmersive Storytelling

I haven't been on this blog for a while but I'll try to resume everything that has happened since the last post.
In this workshop we made a group piece with Dušica and Alexander. We decided to do an installation where the idea was to play with our sound and image perception angles. To confront them by the manipulation of the panoramic image titled «Paranoia Scape».
We would record panoramic videos in sites around the city that we found interesting where there would be a lot of sound sources and then we each would also record sounds from the sites divided in separate directions from the middle point of the camera so they would be more localized instead of general sounds. The way it works is you would be inside a space chamber where the panorama video would surround you as an spectator and then as you looked towards a certain point of the video, this exact part would be blurred. Proposing the contradiction between the fact that we can generate 360 degree images but we can only really look at a certain degree.
And because the sound would come from 4 different sources and would be triggered by someone manipulating the installation. The idea is to trigger always the sound behing the spectator provoking him or her to turn around but never able to see (because of the blurring) the source of the sound.

Here are some pictures taken of the prototype of the installation.
