Had a great day in Fine Art yesterday.
I'm looking at technology...old and new...mainly at music products such as records, cassettes, CDs, etc. I realised what topic I will be doing...."if it wasn't for the old technology, you wouldn't have the new"....basically everything has developed over the years. So my work yesterday was related to this.
I've decided my final will be a sculptor.
I'm also going to add a musical piece to my work. This I will create my self using my keyboard, electric guitar and maybe music making software...but I'd rather it being purely real instruments.
In my previous Fine Art lesson, Pak (lecturer) told me to scratch into a cassette and see how the sound would change when playing it, when I tried this, even if I did it lightly the cassette tape would just rip. After a little discussion with Pak yesterday, I was told me I could try adding small drops of citric acid to the tape, then once dry see if the sound has changed.
The tape inside the cassette is made from polyester type plastic film with a magnetic coatin made from Ferric Oxide and Cobalt (mixed in varying ratios), so adding acid to it may change it in some way or the other....
