And it came to pass that Schnozzle...

And it came to pass that Schnozzle was aversive with hives brotherhood; and shovelful waveguide strongman, and became eyesight as to the strengthener of a maelstrom; and he was also tigerish in misjudgment.

sped up a really fucked up Russian porn, and ran it through a luma delta filter, which shows the dynamic elements of each frame as white lines, and the static elements of a frame as a black background.

mixed the two together.

the sounds include a broken DVD drive, Lester and Brennan's apartment toilet, an improvised waltz on guitar in a stairwell, an erhu bowed scratchily, a howling wolf-dog, a conversation with a howling wolf-dog making shaking howls (which ends with me blowing a shakuhachi like a didjeridoo, and the wolf-dog playing with a squeaky-toy), an ice-cream truck, a concert band rehearsal with severely altered tempo, recording from "Deal or No Deal," a circuit-bent keyboard, an electronic piece created with Reason3.0, a vocal trio improv in a parking garage, ice in a thermos, rain, and perhaps a few other sounds I have forgotten.

Dinner for 7: A Conversation With Five Obstructions

Kristi Dykema Cheramie and Jeff Carney

"a little gem we are now going to ruin"

- Lars Von Treir

As outsiders can we ever really know a place? As designers do we see the world as it is or is our vision hopelessly clouded by our own experiences, desires, fears, and objectives? ...Is this a bad thing?

This research methods and representation independent study will ask you to document a place using all media, and methods at your disposal. Working as a team you will document the Lower Bayou Lafourche. You will define the first documentation: the content, the mode of inquiry, the method. We ask only that your observations tell a story of the place. Choose a character, and environmental condition, a social need, a feature in time, something lost, something feared... You might approach the project as landscape architecture students but you might also approach it as outsiders, as men, as boaters, drivers, silently, with indifference, or as your home. The critical direction of your documentation is completely up to you.

Following this initial investigation, we will meet for dinner once every two weeks. Your critics will observe, question, critique, and debate your work. You will then be issued a series of obstruction to which you will need to respond, react, and remake your observations. As important as the initial making, your must navigate the design challenge embedded in the documentation of the first act.

This study is based on the film "The Five Obstruction," directed by Lars Von Trier
