1. Object ( Iphone ) 

The aim of this video is to explore the relationship between humans and their phone. I’ve listed down a list of application that I’ve stalled in my phone. I then highlight the frequently used application. The list reflects what a phone does and how it contribute to my life. The initial plan was to understand my phone but I end up noticing my needs and how dependant I am to it. The list could be divided into emotional and physical needs. I would like to explore the relation between the essential support and needs of my phone and how my phone contribute to my needs. The visual will show structures /systems that support my phone’s operating system and the audio will list a list of emotional and physical needs that my phone provides.

Method:

Visuals- Things that structure and supports the phone system- Satellite dish, radio waves, wifi broadband, power, cable lines..

Audio- My emotional and physical needs (list ) with sound from the phone ( notifications, vibrating, SIRI’s respond to questions ) –

Emotional: Social, connection, content, image, informations, dependant, knowledge, stay in touch with friends, stay up to date with current news and events, fill up spare time, share opinion ( voice), meet new people, share and exchange experiences, get advices Physical: Alarm clock, Calendar, Tramtracker, Navigate directions, weather, menstrual cycle, health app- monitor fitness ( number of steps/day)

2. Cooking/Tasting

Research: http://umamibook.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/SELECTED-PAGES.pdf

I would like to explore relations between memory and taste. Research shows that there is peculiar connection between taste and memory. It was not until about the 1920s that it became the object of rigorous scientific studies. So it should come as no surprise that it is only within the past few decades that we have started to gain a better understanding of its actual physiological basis.This allows us to explain, in detail, how taste is detected in the mouth by certain receptors and converted into nerve impulses that are then forwarded to specific centers in the brain. The neural cells in these centers carry out the final calculation and convey a message about the food.

Taste are not limited by the description of words/language. For example, slow-cooked reflects tenderness of the meat. I would also like to explore the contrast of taste by showing different images of food and narrating the contrast of that particular food. For example visual shows Hot tea and audio narrates brain freeze?
