Project #5: Apparatus for Capturing Sound > assembling NARRATIVES via CARVING






Understand the interior and exterior of the ear (human or other) by subtractivly carving it from foam.

 Create an apparatus for sound for your created ear (media of choice)



The apparatus for sound needs to include what the ear is listening to (media of choice), to thereby capture the sound.  Think about ambient sound that is with us at all times > our internal beatings, breath, air movement, leaves rustling, cars and trucks humming, florescent light bulbs pulsing. 

Insert the 2 forms to visually present a surrealist narrative of the ear + apparatus for sound visualized = X

 DUE: THURSDAY NOV 7th
