Either using the assets provided or using your own source imagery (posted on portal) you are to create a multi-track audio mix of at least three tracks, based on this image. No visual animation is required.
You can use any audio sampling program and any mixing program, thought freeware (open source) is recommended.
Recommended programs Audacity, Garage band, Sound Forge, Qbase.

Your Project must:

• Use the same sample rate and bit depth on all tracks.
• Use CD quality Standards of quality or higher for sampling.

Produce two audio files:

• The first being a CD quality Uncompressed file.
• The second being a compressed MP3 file (optimising file size/quality).
• Ensure Sound levels are correct on all tracks.
• Upload all original samples into separate folder.
• At Least one track must be a recording from a microphone.
• Ensure low noise ratio.

Deadline: Wk 28 = 05.02.07
Any image can be used but a selection will be provided on the portal.

The Interstices Project requires you to explore, analyse and design an ‘interface’. The outcome of this activity will be to develop a ‘representation’ of a specific technology operating in a social environment. This representation may take the form of an T.V./multimedia ‘advert’ or sales promotion for the ‘product/activity’, a short documentary about the ‘product/activity’ (e.g. News footage/report), a simulation that provides a real experience of the ‘product/activity’. A full blown project is not required, an animatic of slide show will suffice.

There are many possibilities, however your project must be based on an extrapolation of current technology/social practice/cultural phenomena/documented hypothesis, and not just whimsical speculation, i.e. the end of Western Civilisation following a bacterial infection which turns out to be microscopic Chinese following the self-miniaturisation of the entire Chinese population…. (see “Slapstick or Lonesome no more’ Kurt Vonnegut)…
