so, the m scape project worked surprisingly well. For my project I decided to edit some of my favorite songs and place them around campus to create different moods as you walked around the center of campus. I was really surprised at how easy everything came together within the editing program. I was also really happy that my device and the gps decided to work well in both the testing before class and the during the actual trials. I only got to do one other m-scape besides my own, which was robs. His walk consisted of random sentences read aloud, usually consisting of some funny wording. The thing i really liked about it was that as the sentences were played to me over the headphones, my mind would wander off on a random tangent due to how peculiar the sentences were.
Also, I think I'm going to continue working on the idea of the wall within San Francisco for my final project. more specifically, how my area and all the things I do (like going to school) would be affected. Right now I'm researching ramat sholomo, a Israeli neighborhood which falls directly on the area which I live.
"JERUSALEM - MARCH 12: (FILE PHOTO) The ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, the latest Israeli development on land it captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War, is seen in this March 12, 2008 aerial view in East Jerusalem."
the weirdest thing about that picture is that my neighborhood is also built into a hillside, so they look startlingly similar.
