I have been continuing my exploration of concept regarding creating communal memories that didn't exist that can then be altered by interacting with the installation.
I set up a cassette recorder and microphone in a small locker bay and asked each individual to share something important. There was so lack of clarity as to where the recorder was, which was the major weakness of the piece. Once recorded, I created a loop on the cassette tape that could then be played, and manipulated.
I am still working out the best way to preface individuals to play and push buttons, without having an explicit sign or instructions.
From this project, I am very interested in doing more projects that combine different interactions onto one physical recording device.

I went nearest to last... because I had no idea what to say. I had this misconception that there was an expectation of the perfect thing to say.
