I have completed a rough cut of the video. I added both the originally recorded footsteps and the ADR footsteps to match the visuals, and I also restructured the sequence of shots for a more natural flow. One of the most difficult parts was syncing the footsteps with the video. Since I was using contact…

Since I had completed most of the preliminary experimentation, I proceeded with filming alongside a friend who agreed to help. I attached the recorder to the shoe by threading it through my trousers, then taped the recorder cable to my calf to prevent it from getting tangled while walking. To approach participants, I used the…

The rope arrived today, and I cut it to an appropriate length and tied loop-shaped knots so it can be easily worn. I estimated the distance between each loop — that is, the distance between two people — to be about 150 cm, and cut the rope accordingly, leaving extra length for making the loops.…

The previous experiment using a clip-on contact microphone was successful, but due to the limitations of the footwear, there was still some noise unless filters were applied. Additionally, only one foot was recorded, so it was necessary to determine whether the sound would resemble actual footsteps when recorded on both sides. Therefore, I purchased another…

Previously, I experimented with recording footstep sounds using a piezo contact microphone. Overall, the quality was quite poor—the recording contained excessive noise and failed to capture mid-to-low frequency ranges properly, so it didn’t sound much like actual footsteps. As a result, I decided to try using a clip-on contact microphone, which is commonly used for…

The 15th Gwangju Biennale, held in South Korea in 2024, is likened to a grand operatic spectacle that encapsulates contemporary discourse surrounding us. Nicolas Bourriaud, who served as the artistic director, views the 21st century, overshadowed by the Anthropocene, as a pivotal era that must construct a new ontological framework. In this exhibition, Bourriaud intertwines…

Before proceeding with the actual filming, I need to find a reliable method to accurately capture the sound of walking. The first method I considered was using a contact microphone. Since this microphone captures vibrations transmitted through the object it’s attached to, it seemed like a promising way to record walking sounds. Moreover, because it…

I know it’s a bit late to make a concrete plan for this, but nonetheless, since I wanted to create a piece based on my essay, I spent a lot of time thinking about it. First of all, my essay involves relational aesthetics, and once my mind was firmly set on that concept, an idea…
