Data Analysis_Critical Reflection – Coding Memo_023a 26 May 2020. Aaron - Phase 2. Generating initial codes

Second part of today's coding - dragging and dropping verbatim extracts onto slides and considering latent and semantic codes that would apply

Initial codes considered today:

Lack of awareness and disrespect

Solid objects releasing the sound of the landscape

Foreign exotic landscapes are a useful escape

Illumination and light as mysterious and magical experiences

Movement revealing sonic flaws

Weight of objects making a positive or neutral difference

Familiarity and security of known practice

Social objects are reminiscent of connection

Uniqueness and individuality is preferred to mass produced

Mass production is uniform and not unique

Happy accidents

Playful fun

Uniqueness – same but different

Taste and smell are difficult to describe using metaphors

Visual metaphors are easier than the other senses

Art galleries favour visual rather than sound – research sensory museum

Personal visual data banks are driven by experience

Personal visual data libraries provide a unique perspective

Sonic navigation and wayfinding

Personal experience of sight loss

Generating your own sonic encounter encourages focus through touch and sound

Music played without the distraction of ‘noise’ is preferred

Sound as a meditative focus – active listening

Comprehension of scale despite sight loss

Colouring in – filling in the visual gaps

Self-generated imagery even when sighted

Sighted people generally don’t listen

Sensory sensitivity even when sighted

Assumptions about sight loss

Happy accidents and positive opportunity
