RE: Internation- Polaroid Providence (now with noise!)
Upon reading the Internation proposal I had already working on a project
& mentioned it to Megan....
It had been tentatively titled Polaroid Nation, the name now out of inspiration and hopes of collaboration with the Internation project, has changed tentatively. (yes I meant for redundancy)
Polaroid Providence (working title) is a project of art communication and
understanding human connection through collaboration.
So far, in it's beta stages so to speak, I spend some time taking Polaroids of life and days and the world and universe and then I send one or two to a friend in the mail, with a small quote or illustration in the white part.


(photos by me)
Then my he scans them into his computer and converts the img (image) files into PCM (pulse code modulation) files, and get's sound out of them, brilliant and sometimes obtrusively brilliant sounds. Then he takes the found noises and creates a song either in response to my photos or in collaboration, meaning not of the feeling of my photos at all but something entirely different and that can only be created by our communication.

My friend is into the internet and web design, also so we are going to create a space that we scan our photos and hopefully more people will do it. Then we can have profile-esque blog-ish sort of thing going on. Each page, all the Polaroids that particular person has taken and uploaded to the site, and each picture will have the option for details, like which other member received the particular photo in the mail...
Once hearing about the Internation, I was really excited to bring polaroidnation into it as a providence or smaller facet or somehow....
I was thinking that if we created a script or program and had everyones photos creating noises, and perhaps the members of the Internation could use these files if they were musicians, poets, noisemakers or what have you, and elaborated on the found sounds, and we mixed them all together as the constantly changing noisy abrasive anthem of our nation!
It's up for consideration and ideas... anyone down?
