Adam Larsen – Assignment 3: Supernatural

 First Site: Nitobe Garden

For my site visit to Nitobe Garden, I sat at four different spots for five minutes each, recording what I heard around me and the general smell.

This final map shows sound discs rotated to the north axis. Note how majority of the blue human sounds are directed toward the highway, and red animal sounds are directed to a large cluster of trees.

Second Site: Jericho Beach

At Jericho Beach I walked toward the water, taking frequent stops to record what I heard and smelled.

This final map shows all of the sound discs aligned to the north and positioned at their corresponding stop points. You can see all of the animal sounds (red) directed toward a general area, revealing the rough location of frogs. You can also map all of the natural sounds (yellow) beginning and ending as I moved through the wooded area.

When I went to Spanish Banks it was quite rainy and I wanted to capture the gloomy feeling with watercolour. In contrast at Nitobe Gardens, it was sunny when I went, and I drew the overall beautiful, lush greens. I went over the watercolor with a black pen after, trying to capture more of the textures that I felt when on the site. At Nitobe, we couldn’t touch the moss but I could still perceive it to be soft through my sight. While I was at Spanish Banks the rain didn’t completely deter me from immersing myself in the landscape and using my sense of touch but it was definitely a hindrance. The wooden logs while rough, felt smoother with the rain on them.

Site visit notes:

Through the experience of Nitobe and Spanish banks, similarities can be seen between the designed bridges and the human movement.

On the passive level, bridges are stationary entities, and serve to transition between space.  On the active level, human movement, especially when playing sports seem to have frames which  with the shape of the passive landscape. When the player is awaiting the ball and forms a platform with their arm; when they are at maximum elasticity and anticipating the ball mid-air; when they are going for a block…

The weather and immediate conditions of the site such as wind/rain tend to affect the human movement more than the built environment.

1. Seemingly more compact sand, closer to the road, resulting in very little submergence in each step. Looser sand approaching the water, resulting in deeper steps and slowing the rhythm of one’s movement.
2. Stepping on piles of seaweed or grass? When stepped on some sort of particles or perhaps even tiny bugs disperse.

For this assignment, I focused on exploring different ways our sense of touch perceives our surroundings. I categorized my experience of touch in two main ways, the first one being physical touch, to which I interpret as our encounter with nature (groundscape) and the second being atmospheric touch, or in other words nature’s encounter with us (intensities of light and wind).
