  1. Discuss and answer questions with your new partner. Have your answerd in writing (a amall paragraph) ready and posted in the wiki.
    • How does the sentence “The medium is the message” by Marshall McLuhan applies to your practice? Comment on this quote in the context of your own work and in regards to this transcontinental collaboration, etc.
    • American sound artist Bill Fontana made several pieces in which he transfers sound from one location to another. How does this locational switch change our understanding of a the space(s) in question? What new aspects of a sonic environment might emerge? What happens to our perception of a location once it is stripped from its original sounds and these are replaced by sounds from another location?
    • How does an instrument through which sound is transmitted shape our expectation and the perception of it (loudspeaker, telephone, alarm-clock), in other words, what if the expectation is not met, what impact can this have on our perception?
  2. record a 30 second static HD Video using a tripod with decent stereo sound of a place in your city. Exchange the soundtrack of your video with the one of your partner.
