Daily Routine

The goal of this project is to find a definition of daily routine and explore the interconnection between the physical and digital worlds. Since I was interested in the relationship between online and offline activities, I decided to make a video to show how the digital world influences our lives. While I was exploring this idea, I defined daily routine as a personal rhythm and repetition of one’s activities.

To express my definition of daily routine, I decided to record my activities in both real and digital worlds and combine them. As mentioned in Erin’s radio show, I agreed that each object has different characteristics and identity. Based on this essential idea of our relationship to objects, I used the environment and objects around me as sonic sources to create this sound artifact. When the sounds were merged, they created a new sound. With these sources, I created 2 minutes of video and audio that represent my daily routine. I used a screen recording technique on my phone to capture both image and sound. Then, I used iMovie and Adobe Premiere Pro to edit these recordings. Using the video overlay technique, I connected my online activities with real life. I wanted to display this video in a public space to interact with other people, but I could not find any location to install. This project brought an outcome of a sonic artifact that shows the inseparable relationship between the digital world and our lives.
