The Newham Sensory Deprivation Map is the result of an intensive workshop with 36 art students from Newham Sixth Form College. The students were put into pairs, one of whom was blindfolded and given ear defenders so that they could not see or hear. The other student was given a Global Positioning System as well as pen and paper. Together these two would explore the local area around the college for up to an hour. The idea being that the blindfolded and deafened student verbally relates their sensory experience to the other student who is taking notes and making sure they are safe during the journey. On their return the geographical data from their walk is downloaded from the GPS and all the sensory observations made during the walk are spatially recorded the map. This map is the combined annotations of all the students during the workshop and forms an alternative sensory map of Newham. (http://www.softhook.com/sensory.htm)

Notes

« Christian Nold is an artist, designer and educator working to develop new participatory models for communal representation. This website unifies all the strands of my work, from participatory art projects, critical writing as well as new media and physical computing teaching. Some of my larger projects like Bio Mapping the Brentford Biopsy, the Paris East Emotion Map, the Stockport Emotion Map, the Newham Sensory Deprivation Map, the Silvertown Affect Map, the project Strange Weather, the San Francisco Emotion Map and Greenwich Emotion Map have their own sites. I am keen to collaborate with individuals, groups and institutions that are interested in social, political and environmental innovation. » (http://www.softhook.com/index.htm)
