Scale InSight : creating a somatic landscape of the Okanagan Valley

This paper provides theoretical context as support for my thesis exhibition entitled Scale InSight a participatory locative media art project in a public space. It documents the creative process of the of thesis project. The art installation Scale InSight is the construction of a corposcape, an imaginative landscape created and experienced by the body as opposed to a mindscape created by the mind, and one that augments the existing corporeality/landscape. This particular corposcape consists of sound compositions, created from elevation data of nearby mountains and narrative descriptions from blind individuals, creating an acoustical representation of the environment. The thesis project consists of an interactive installation within a gallery space as well as an interactive smart phone application used in an outdoor site-specific installation.Graduate Studies, College of (Okanagan)Graduat
