Concept

This work was based on the work of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer called “Voice Array”, and is fairly simple in nature. The work is about showing us how the number of people we can quickly overwhelme us. “My Little Social Chaos” is a personal project in a sense that the names used are mostly relevant to myself.

Implementation

The visualisation is compiled into a simple video, consisting of 25 names of friends and acquaintances, including my own, being played in a chronological order, as i met each person in life. I myself provided the voice for the male names, while my colleague Martina Jurak recorded the voices for the female names. Each name was given it’s own waveform vizualzation and position on the arrray according to the time of meeting.

Conclusion

The results of this project is a black & white audiovizualisation and this website displaying the video. It shows us the chaos and noise which represents the difficulty of keeping relationships with friends, creating a visual chaos of jumping dots as each name is repeated over and over again.
