Our Campus

This is the audio walk for the week 2 task for BCP 2005.

Hello, It's Rebekah ! Follow me around a typical day at Queen's for me as I discuss a reading from my second week of class.

In this echoes walk, I will be explaining the three different types of webdocumentary, as explained in "Modes of Interactivity: Analysing the Webdoc (Kate Nash 2012)"

Allow me to share with you my thoughts and findings on the Case Study of Audience Reception and User Engagement as you walk around Queen's University Belfast's Students Union

As part of Sound of Belfast, local musician Richard Davis aka Heliopause launches Sometimes We Wake, a sound walk that reflects on memory and the queer narratives in his songwriting. The sound walk invites you to walk through the Palm House in Botanic Gardens, where Heliopause performed a show in 2009 with Albrecht's Pencil. This walk will guide you around the conservatory as you listen to his memory of being and performing in the venue while reflecting on the songs that he was writing at the time from the album Walk Into The Sea. Richard merges these memories of the conservatory with the writings of a local gay author almost a hundred years before. The sound walk is free to experience during Sound of Belfast within the Palm House opening hours. Participants access the audio using their own smartphone and headphones. The sound walk activates when you are located at the Palm House in Botanic Gardens, Belfast and lasts 14 minutes. Put on your headphones and start the audio while standing outside the main entrance to the conservatory. Let my voice guide you inside.

Assignment 1 - Echoes walk - reflecting on webdocs and interactivity through the use of Kate Nash's article on "Modes of Interactivity - analysing the webdoc" to explore narrative, categorical and collaborative webdocs.

This audio walk takes place around iconic locations that I pass daily as a Queen's University Belfast student. These locations include, 'The Sonic Arts Research Centre', 'Queens main Campus' and 'The Botanic Gardens'. Durning the walk I will be talking you through some of my highlights and interesting points that I discovered whilst reading, ' Kate Nash; Modes of interactivity'. Enjoy!
