Notes:

• Listening and hearing soundscape
• Spectogram (visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies of a signal as it varies with time.
• Researchers created a set website for sharing experiences, of a year long study of landscape sound digital design with a group of textile practitioners across Scotland
• Output - paperback book of patterns
• So What?

              Augmentable - person and device could begin to work or augment maker/producer to have a                better sense of their environment.
              Get artists and designers to interpret.
              Use textiles to represent data
              Experimentation - Community

              Collaboration - Future collaborations without input from researchers. Begin to interchange                  ways of making.

• So What?

             It not only challenges the way textiles are made, it can create digitisation of data
             It can share the process with non-textile practitioners
The person, computer and landscape creates a conversation, in it's own right.
