Telematic Performance/Scratch Orchestra From the original Multimedia Workshop 1, MEDA110 (circa 1993).

Telematic Performance: Mike Phillips

Working in groups select an image (A4). Devise a system for transferring the image from one location to another. Each person will mark a stage in the transfer which will require the image to be coded and decoded. Each stage will be different from any other stage in the process. The process should last approximately 5 minutes. Look at: FAX machines/Modems/T.V./Film & slide projectors. You can’t use any of these. (A slide projector may be used as a light source but not for projecting slides). Semaphore/Morse code/shadows/grids. You might want to use some of these. Think about: Your audience, presentation, genre, style, timing…..

Scratch Orchestra: Andy Prior

Working in small groups, using only found objects, none of which should be purpose built musical instruments, create and perform live a short sound piece. The piece should be carefully constructed and scored using the intrinsic qualities of the objects. Consideration should be given to the material, construction and of course sound of the object. The purpose of this exercise is to explore the structure (audio and temporal) of sound, its manipulation, construction, and performance.
