How might we use sound to tell the story of public art?
Term: Spring 2021
Department: English
Course: ENGL 338 (Literature & Media)
Instructor: Brian Ganter
Staff contact: Lori Phillips (North Vancouver Recreation and Culture Commission)
Students will select an existing public art piece in the City of North Vancouver and develop short sound-based creative responses or commentary (“soundbites”) that help to tell the story about the work. Students may engage with artists and other stakeholders to inform and create their soundbites with the support from Lori for introductions. The deliverables may be used by the Public Art Program via a website and/or QR code platform following the conclusion of the term.
