Assignment:
This assignment incorporates the medium of audio. Record a confession. The confession cannot be yours. The confession can be in the form of a secret or an apology. You may use your voice, or the voice of someone else, to make the recording. Before you embark on this journey, listen and watch the sources provided below. Make a container to house the recording device. The materials and processes used to construct the container should be reflective of the content of the confession. No size limit. Note: the recording device we are using has a button that needs to be pushed to activate the recording. When planning your design, you will have to account for a space that will incorporate the button. Use no less than three (3) different materials and no more than five (5) to construct the container. No size limit.
Objective:
Development of an idea that results in an expressive and meaningful visual and audio experience.
Materials:
There is one required material for this assignment which is a small recording device that can be purchased at the local Radio Shack. You will also need a 9 volt battery. The recording lasts 20 seconds. Feel free to purchase another brand/type. Other materials are your choice. Remember, no less than 3 and no more than 5.
Listen:
This American Life, 277: Apology, Act Two, Dial "S" For Sorry. Link here.
"In October of 1980, Bridge plastered thousands of handbills in the streets New York. "Attention criminals: You have wronged people. It is to people that you must apologizeNot the church, not the state. Get your misdeeds of your chest. Call apology. When you call you will be alone with a tape recorder."
They did call. For the next decade and a half, serial killers, battered wives, rapists, thieves, men with a new disease called AIDS, shop lifters, drug addicts, soldiers grappling with their actions in Viet Nam, racists, homophobes, Katherine Hepburn impersonators, animal lovers, queers, messengers of God, hate criminals, war criminals, and many others poured their confessions and declarations into Allan’s downtown loft apartment. Bridge began to play selected material back on his outgoing message." -image and text source is apologyline.com. Link here to read more.

TED Talks, Frank Warren: Half A Million Secrets. Link here.
"Frank Warren is the creator of The PostSecret Project, a collection of highly personal and artfully decorated postcards mailed anonymously from around the world, displaying the soulful secrets we never voice. Since November 2004, Warren has received more than 500,000 postcards, with secrets that run from sexual taboos and criminal activity to confessions of secret beliefs, hidden acts of kindness, shocking habits and fears. PostSecret is a safe and anonymous "place" where people can hear unheard voices and share untold stories." - source is TED Talks
