investigating narrative sound design strategies for interactive objects
“sound designs are often highly elaborated,
semantically rich and subtly tuned to the
identity of the protagonists, objects and
processes depicted [...] The use of semantic
layers, archetypal templates, the play with
familiarity and traces of psychology are
examples of commonly applied sound design
strategies. -hug

“Participation must be face-to-face to allow
for real-time interaction to take place.
Empathy for the people who will be affected
by change is key. Visualization of the
collective assets is essential. And having the
appropriate mindset about co-creation is
the single most important component for
success” - Sanders
co-creation
“in a continuum of abilities - we are all part
of this continuum”
“co-creating may provide a ways of
expression for children who can have
problems expressing themselves”
