Topic
Spying

Title
Eavesdropper


Background

Eavesdropping is the act of secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent, this is commonly thought to be unethical.
It has got many names or rather aspects: spying, eavesdropping, and so on...and it are considered negative most of the time. This feeling that you need to know everything that's going on or most things keeps making you carry out some weird actions sometimes.


“There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head”

-Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)



Problem Identification

Spying and eavesdropping is some people habit. They always wonder what is happening behind the walls, always wanted to hear the truth. All those conspiracies and plans behind their back, the arguing, the discussion, what channel they watching and etc. They always wanted know all of them and some
of us that doesn’t have that habits and never experience eavesdropping or spying will wonder what eavesdropper really hearing.


Aim and Objectives

  • To explore physical motion and non computer device as a way of interacting with sound.
  •  To making the glass as extension of the sound world, not confined in a speaker or other sound hearing device.
  • To give user enjoy the exemplary experience as an eavesdropper

Eavesdropper is a sound installation project consisting of a series of speaker setup behind a closed wall, a motion detection program with webcams and a drinking glass to interacting with the installation. During the exhibition user will engage the installation by browsing an empty wall with a glass giving an
impression of trying to eavesdrop from other side of the wall , users eventually will hear recorded audio of anonymous peoples and places that have been recorded by eavesdropping method when hit certain hotspots.
