OUGD603 - Brief 1 - Silent Disco - Sound Within a Room

Other possible initial concepts for projecting different sets of emotions within the same room could be via the use of headphones. This concept has taken influence from 'silent discos' where the audience each has a set of headphones to wear. I found out through personal experience how this method can project different emotions by attending a 'silent disco' at a festival. Upon looking around, I noticed that some people are in a state of euphoria listening to the music through their headphones, and some people have their headphones off and are just talking casually. It is this contrast within emotions which struck me most profoundly, by the simple use of music within a room, the users emotions can be changed dramatically.

The reference to silent disco with headphones would also signify rave culture, this could be an interesting point to keep in mind if rave culture is the context of my instillation concept.
