Sound Walk

Last week I turned everything off and focused on the sound at 34th Herald sq in the heart of New York City. This was a really strange experience for me.From some day, I could not live without earphones and cell phones. But as I was doing this project, I focused on the sound of New York.

I heard people once. I listened to what they were going to do, where they should eat, and what they were talking about. I went to the bank to listen to another sound and to do my work.

I heard a loud machine noise and people's telephone tones. The bank guards sounded let busy urging people come in and do their thing because the machine is busy. Most of the sound in the bank complain about the long lines. And there were those who made their music louder and let others hear, and those who made the phone calls bigger.

I moved to another place and I moved to 32 Korean Town. Korean Town was always a lot of cars due to its narrow roads and there were huge cars line up on that day. There were a lot of horns and people who made a sound of asking for consent to deliver things to the restaurant, and there was a sound people who were advertising to gather guests in front of the store. Especially the sound of the horn was so loud that it made me feel bad.

Finally, I went to the open space where 34 was inside and listened to the people. As the road was in front, the sound of the horn was mainly made, but the sound of the citizens was heard from time to time.

Reflections : machine stops

Set in a world where humans live underground and rely on giant machines to provide their needs, the story predicted technologies such as instant messaging and the Internet. This story describes a world in which most people have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual now lives in a standard cellar that meets all physical and mental needs with a universal machine. Travel is allowed, but it is unpopular and almost unnecessary. Communication takes place through a kind of instant messaging / videoconferencing system that allows people to focus on their only activity: sharing ideas and knowledge. What I felt when I saw this story was that we were being controlled a little bit, and that the development of science that was so far away at this time was now realized, and I thought that science really permeated us. We have no doubt that the Internet is now this advanced. It's just that at some point our science has changed little by little and now we're enj...
