Dinner and a Movie



Cliques

The circles of candy represent different friend circles and high school cliques. In high school, kids mostly only hang out with people in their own social group of like minded people. There are the jocks, the nerds, the drama kids, the populars. Together with their own kind, the candies are small, condensed, and contained. They are separated from the others. However, when kids open up their group to more than just "their own", the diverse friendships they make can help them reach new heights. The candy on the middle plate has a wider circle of divers interaction and is elevated above the closed off circles of individual types of candy. Life is so much more colorful and interesting when mixed with people who have different interests, skills, and backgrounds.

When I read the quote about the patterns of different types of touch, I decided to take on the challenge of reinterpreting the feelings of pain into sound.  For "The Rhythm of Pain", I used an online tool for sketching and sharing instrumental melodies called BeepBox. Using BeepBox, I turned each of Ackerman's descriptions of types of pain and touch into its own rhythm. Pain is an irregular, sharp melody. Itching is a fast paced, constant tone. Heat is a swelling, bubbling tune. Light pressure is flurry of sounds.
