Project Idea Plan B

Due to the time constraint we have for this short trimester, we have concluded that the first idea 'Illuminating Bush', had to be changed into something that was workable and researched with a short period of time.

Hence a new idea was brought up during our consultation with Mr Badrolhisham, Mr Erwin and Mr Lim Kok Yoong. 

Sonance

Theme
Sounds that cause consternation in toilets
.
Aim/Objectives
· To activate fear by sound
· To show the emotion of being in the state of fear
· To show the affection of sound

Target
The installation is intended for anyone ranging from any age, especially MMU students.

Description
Sonance is a sound installation which activates different sounds that would cause the emotion of fear in toilets. Multiple types of sounds that range from whispers, screams and foots steps are activated in different parts of the toilets to evoke the state of being feared in toilets among users. 
By playing sounds that releases the moment of being feared in toilets, users will show how they react to different types of sounds that cause fear.

Research Topic
We are trying to evoke the feeling of fear through sounds in the toilet of MMU.

Problem Identification
We find that toilets in the Faculty of Creative Multimedia could be feared among students because of the discrete location and the infrequently visits of people, making it usually empty and quiet.

Motivation
Due to the problem we have identified, we would like to evoke the affection of being scared through sounds among the user.

Ideation & Concept
To find a way to this matter, we have come up with a simple idea of playing different sounds thorough speakers and sensors that will evoke the feeling of fear.
Multiple sensors will be installed in different areas in the toilet to activate different sounds depending on the location of the user in the toilet.

Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies


This is an interactive sound installation art called 'Umbrellas' by Per Nilsson, Robert Innes and Deniz Olcay. Basically it sense motion when the user walks under the umbrella and plays a raining sound.
