We wanted something that ran alongside our other eat cakes but more conceptual and relevant to the competition. I came across this idea of 'Phonography' after reading Eric Gills 'Essay on Typography' which is the visual representation of words through sound waves. We felt saying the word eat would embody enough of a relation to the last projects and create an interested method of representing 'type' or language.
Phonography ~
"This entails the capture of any event that can be reproduced and represented as sound. Auditory events are selected, framed by duration and method of capture, and presented in a particular format and context, all of which distinguishes a recording from the original event during which it was captured. In this respect, phonography is analogous to any other form of recording. It is distinct from recording in general only to the extent that the capture of sound is privileged over its production. This bias reflects an attempt to discover rather than invent."
The cake will be a conversion from the sound-waves of the word in audacity (a similar approach to our audio visual brief) but made out of a cake using different colours.
The capture of an event that can be reproduced and presented in a particular format and context. The word 'Eat' was captured in Audacity (audio editing software) and recreated in the format of a cake.
This was the final cake!
