​Day Four and Five were with Clara Garcia Fraile of Me and the Machine
​

​She reminded me about content and narrative. We talked about:
the dynamics of following/being followed

freedom/danger

euphoria /horror
enjoying the brink/jumping into the river
​

What part is the participant playing?
Why do they want to get to the destination?
What is the fiction around the action the participant is asked to do?
​
We talked about binaural sound. She said:

Binaural sound is better when linked to a visual.
Blocking or obstructing senses makes you scared/stimulates adrenalin/heightens things.

We went out with the Hunter’s headphones which amplify ambient sound and played a game where one of us led and the other followed while trying not to be seen by the leader. I wasn’t interested by the dramatic relationship between me and the performer but in the way the edges of walls and railings framed the distant person. I began looking through the view finder of my camera with both eyes open and keeping Clara in the viewfinder eye.

Hunter's headphones make things cinematic.

Q: Could you hide sounds at low volumes that only someone with the headphones can hear? ​
