I wasn't the biggest fan of this project. I mean, it was pretty fun in some ways. Taking pictures and collecting sounds. The technical hangups were a pain in the ass, but so it goes and I can't really complain. I thought that the soundscape and the video were pretty tedious. But this is biased and irrelevant, because my lack of expertise made me work slow, which contributes to tediousness blah blah blah. It was hard to be so abstract. I guess it made it easier and harder. I was lost in someways, since it was so experimental and it pretty much didn't matter what I did, but that freed me up to basically make scratches on the page, just doodle along. I made some pretty good subjective connections I think, Like the beams and the semicircles and railroads conflicting and colliding with the plane noise, and the chain link fence and building rubbing against each other with the metal rattle of the bike chain. I just wish it hadn't taken so long, or at least if we had gotten to control our own segment from start to finish instead of working with random peoples random work.
