The Assignment for 2/25

For this week, you are to pick a partner. With your partner, you will go to a location where each one of you took a picture for last weeks "Photograph a heterotopia" assignment. When you near the location, the person who took the picture will lead the person who did not take the picture around the location. The person who did not take the picture will have their eyes closed and will explore the site through sound, smell, touch, taste, weight, mass, volume, sensation, association, memory, experience (Yi Fu Tuan). The person with their eyes closed will narrate their experience into the cell phone, phoning into the blog via Hipcast (see Neighborhood Narratives blog post on "Recording from your telephone") The person who took the picture (the photographer) will function at their site only as a seeing guide. Repeat with the the roles changed at the other person's site.
