COCHLEA

There are conversations, debates, inner monologues, text messages and dialogue which is constantly being shared. Whether we are alone, on the bus, in a park, at school, work, university... walking down the street, eavesdropping on others or listening in to one another at a party; our thoughts, emotions and inner workings are expressed continually to one another.

For some, these inner dialogues and external conversations are easily ignored or forgotten. For others they are impossible to avoid and even harder to filter out. It can be an overload of information all at once, a thousand stories and sentences spoken without context to ears which can’t understand them.

After stripping away the faces, the scenery, the context and the stories, cochlea leaves you with an overwhelming and chaotic representation of the human race. It features messages, conversations, statements and arguments which have been collected from an array of places.

Cochlea looks into human nature, interactions, inner dialogue and emotions, simply by dissecting and extracting information without a particular meaning to the viewer. Some conversations are clear, others are hard or almost impossible to read and understand, and some you will need to utilise the other conversations by layering the images, only then allowing you to read the conversation in its entirety.

The viewer is encouraged to read as many or as few conversations as they like. The intended purpose of cochlea is not for the viewer to look through and read every conversation on the website, as it aims to digitally represent what listening to others is really like. As humans, we forget, we don’t understand, we can’t hear, and we can’t rationalise each and everything we see and hear. Cochlea aims to digitally represent how our minds process, categorise and make sense of our audio and visual landscape.

We decided to order our objects from most branded and easily identifiable to the least. We started with the obvious; the first being objects that had brand names or company logos featured on them, such as the Victorias Secret bag and the branded glue. working down from this, we moved to what was easily visually identifiable or iconic, such as the apple headphones, even though they did not feature logos or brand names. We then get into the conceptual thinking, with the plant belonging to the identity of Monash University, therefore carrying its ‘brand’ or visual identity. The cookie cutter and the glass were considered the least identifiable, as they don’t carry a specific brand identity unique to a company, they simply just exist.

I bought these shoes for a dollar at savers. Although they are being worn, they are missing their owner.
