WEEK 2 - Contextual Investigations and Responses


After visiting Mullumbimby I walked away with the impression that Mullum was a town that inspired artists, performers and those interested in textiles. My initial idea was to create a sound dome with a psychedelic theme, where buskers could come and play music, but also have their musical sound somehow distorted to create a confusion and disorientation - to tie with the "psychedelic" theme.

I decided to scrap my inital idea and continued brainstorming. A sound dome that manipulated sound seemed too intangible. I stuck with my "psychedelic" theme and started thinking about kaledescopes and how to somehow influence our usual perceptions of realty.
