Week 2 – Norell Ward

  1. What is the difference between W3C and PPP ethics?
    • W3 has a media approach to it– how you should act as an ethical person when creating content or products. The permaculture lens takes a more personal approach: how to build societies that value the planet and its people, so both can prosper. The W3C creates the standards and work map, and the PPP lays out the values
  2. What is one choice that can promote slower, calmer, and more attentive design for my project?
    • Choosing my instrument and song was intentional—a quiet acoustic instrument has a very different impact than a louder or electric instrument, and a slow-tempo song has a calmer feel than a fast one. Video can be lower in saturation or low in visual weight and movement.
  3. How can 1-2 minutes of sound reward careful listening instead of hijacking attention?
    • A kalimba is a very beautiful and rich instrument in sound, by capturing a very crisp audio of it, overlayered over some light nature sounds, rewards the listener for careful listening, as it will have many layers and depth to absorb
