Sounds Of A Day

This is a project about "quantified self". In this electronic age, we see ourselves increasingly transformed into the form of information. Before that, all of our records came from our hands and feet, but now, electronic devices can extend our senses, amplifying those feelings and deepening our memories.

 

I tracked my life through my cell phone, and I recorded all the sounds that I heard during the day and where they came from. Later, I found out that these everyday sounds that I ignored were affecting my mood. For example, the sound of water and the music of the delivery car make me feel happy, while the roar of cars makes me feel restless. I collect these sounds that affect my emotions and present them in visual symbols and graphics. The hope is to raise awareness of the impact of sound on mood.
