Domestic Space
This is a map of my apartment here on campus
Enter through the front door my backpack are set next to either the coffee table or the cat condo.
Curled into a ball at the top of the cat condo is my kitten Pebbles.
On the rug is my other kitten, Bug.
Start walking through the apartment.
Walk past Pebbles and give her a little pet.
You notice one of my roommates in the kitchen filling her tea kettle with water.
The other roommate is in her room right past the kitchen on her laptop.
If you kept walking straight you would walk right into her room.
But instead you take a left and start heading to my room.
You walk past the food closet and notice we need to go grocery shopping.
Take a left at the end of the hallway and you are in my room.
It smells tropical because of the candle that is burning.
Bug, who has been following you, runs past and starts eating at the food bowl.

Environmental Semiotics Project
For this project I decided to go with a vandalism route. Someone during our field trip to Bone Yard Creek jokingly talked about pouring paint around. I liked this idea but obviously I don't actually want to vandalize a park. Not in my nature. So I came up with the next best thing. Getting a bucket, painting the inside red, and having red ribbon pouring out representing paint.

Reflection on today
September 24
I am excited to use Audacity again. I am still learning how to use it so I'm ready! I have heard of John Cage in another class, Times Art II: Sound Art, we briefly talked about him. I really liked the exercise we did today with everyone making a sound and then a conductor directing them. Some were better conductors than others. I also hope Jonathan and I were good enough teachers that people have a slight idea how to use Audacity. It takes a bit to get used to, but I think everyone can do it.
My ritual Ideas
I have three different ideas that I'm really considering. I'm between taking a picture of my front door each morning as I leave, my feet in different locations, or my trash can at the end of the day.

Human Body
Used to doing
For the project I am comfortable doing I made a sound piece. I wish I had more time but I whipped this together. Listen here. Also I suck and forgot to get progress documentations.
Not used to doing
For the piece I am not used to doing I decided to do a photo shoot. I decided to focus on the imperfections of the body. I used mine because I am comfortable in my own skin and have no problem with my imperfections. I used blue paint to represent my freckles, purple paint to represent scars I have, and pink paint to represent my vitiligo. If you don't know what vitiligo is here is a link to the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo. In short, it is a skin condition that causes dipigmentation in the skin. Basically my skin is turning white in some places. Michael Jackson had vitiligo.
I had a really fun time doing this project. I am interested in doing more of this in the future.
