A3 \ Mapping \ Jonathan Behnke
I visited the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at UBC. I took field notes of the above ground courtyard, observing people moving the moveable tables and chairs to keep them in the sun on a cool fall day.
I decided to map the museum basement and record my emotional response to the various exhibits.

A5 \ Using Our Hands \ Jonathan Behnke
I drew a wine stopper having only felt it with my hands, both while blindfolded and while looking at the page as I drew. I then observed it’s temperature, textures, weight distribution, and the overall emotion it evokes in me.

A6 \ Tactile Body Space \ Jonathan Behnke
I explored the impact of weather on other materials (snow on running track). I also explored the idea of place and weather as materials and analyzed their impact on my feelings, emotions, and memories.

A7 \ Movement \ Jonathan Behnke
I observed cyclists and pedestrians traveling up the 100 Street Funicular and stairs to commute to downtown Edmonton. I also examined my own movement up and down the stairs at various speeds, both running and walking.

A8 \ Tuning in and Windplay \ Jonathan Behnke
I played with Juhani Pallasmaa’s concept of using the ear to “carve a volume into the void of darkness” by visiting the Quarry Garden at Queen Elizabeth Park at dusk.
I created an object for wind to play with out of materials from my recycling bin. In an absence of natural wind strong enough to make noise, gusts were artificially created in a controlled indoor environment by waving a bath towel. A slow-motion video (10% speed) can be viewed below. The audio is played back in normal time (100% speed).

A9 \ Smell Notes \ Jonathan Behnke
I experimented with using a strong positive smell to cover up a negative smell.
