Week One

One of the major events for us this week was experiencing Mscapes and repositioning our opinions of them. ‘Always Someone Somewhere’ is a Mscape walk by Dunacn Speakman which approaches the theme of memory, we were drawn to its fragmented narrative which was triggered by the marking of locations on the ipac. This approach to locative media really made us engage with the piece and was a far cry from our preconceived ideas of Mscapes being a flash game on a smaller scale (yes, sorry, we did really think that). In comparison to Dunacans piece the ‘SouthWest Sound’ application was not as multi layered or rich in terms of narrative, but nevertheless a fun experience, especially when the sounds from the virtual speakers overlapped and worked as taster as to which  direction to take.
