oakenguyThought of the day, or 'why Oaken shouldn't be allowed to win the lottery'
I think a really interesting art project would involve getting a lot of cell phones with really good reception, and putting them in situations that would be deadly or very painful if you were really there, and recording the sounds.
So far I've come up with:
*falling into lava
*getting swallowed by a big fish
*falling off a high cliff
*getting trampled in a mosh pit
*thrown at a wasp nest
*crushed by an elephant
*buried by an avalanche (especially if it's the ring tone that sets the avalanche off...there's poetic justice there).
Being all aural, it's not really very marketable to most museums...maybe if a little diorama was constructed for each recording, so that you saw what the circumstances were when the sound got recorded?
