Choose Two Tools

Two tools to take to my area and experiment with would probably be string and speakers. I've been thinking about ways to interrupt the natural flow of this space by introducing man made obstacles to throw people of enjoying their natural surroundings. The speakers I would use in  a sound projection piece, rigged into the tree tops and hidden from eye site. They would play a variety of unnatural man-made sounds like chainsaws, machinery, excavation equipment, banging and crashing. I could even use actual voices of people yelling and cursing as part of this dialogue. The aim of this type of piece would be to see how people react to such confronting noises in a place they would not expect to encounter such things, it would be as much a social experiment as an installation piece. The string I originally thought of using in a similar way, to create physical boundaries that prevent people from walking the paths and judging how they react to this but the idea of creating a string web across the path, although it interrupts their course, it actually helps them to engage more with their surroundings if anything because they would have to walk off the set path and into the bush to get around the obstacle, this action of stepping into an actual space rather than following the set path can be really beneficial to connecting with your surroundings. So these two tools could create two very different installations with different social experiments and incredibly different outcomes.
