Through interrelating the Acoustic Communication concepts of soundscape with contemporary collective memory studies, this research project explores the relationship between commuters and the London Underground (LU) soundscape in order to create an interactive sonic environment on the Internet. The methodology combines fieldwork and artistic work, focusing on commuters’ perceptions of time and space, and on their sonic memories, as elements through which to interpret the space. The objective of the fieldwork is to investigate commuters’ aural memories of the LU soundscape, including the feelings and sensations that it stimulates. The artistic objective is to facilitate the interaction between the soundscape and its users through an interface that allows a creative combination of sounds to assemble aural memories into a sound-driven multimedia experience. Twenty-four commuters participated in the ethnographic study during the three phases of the research; they followed the researcher’s model, which combines the processes of listening and remembering. The researcher thus developed an interactive sonic environment where commuters can experience a non-linear virtual journey through the soundscape of LU, then apply this as a means of reflecting on the original commuting experience. The interactive nature of the process makes it possible for individual memories to be linked in a creative shared experience; it fosters the development of on-line sound-driven narratives.

<p>Internet has opened a whole new world when it comes to marketing. Because of this companies can reach out to a broader consumer audience. The idea to write this essay came to mind, when we were asked to design the website of a new registered company named Artoteket. The company’s purpose is to hire out and market art on the Internet to bigger companies such as banks, law firms and industrial company’s etc. We were curious if Artotekets potential clients were interested in using the service that Artoteket offers. For this study we have interviewed ten companies that Artoteket sees as potential clients. By examining Internet and finding information about how art has been marketed before, we can draw new conclusions about art and the positive and negative aspects with marketing art on the Internet. </p><p>The purpose with this essay was to explore what possibilities Artoteket has to hire out and market art on the Internet. </p><p>Our conclusion is that; Artoteket has potential clients among the interviewed companies. Artoteket has good possibilities to establish themselves as a well-known brand on the market, because the company has great knowledge in marketing. We believe that Artoteket will gain even more clients in the future if they also create a brochure/catalogue as a complement to the website. </p>

In der SLUB Dresden wird durch die DFG u. a. das Sondersammelgebiet „Zeitgenössische Kunst seit 1945“ gefördert. Ende Juli haben sich mehrere StudentInnen zu einem Workshop angemeldet: „Dem teuersten Gemälde der Welt auf der Spur“. Bei diesem Workshop werden von den Teilnehmern Kataloge und Datenbanken auf Informationen zu Jackson Pollock und zu dem sensationellen Verkauf seines Bildes abgefragt. Vor allem soll geprüft werden, wie zeitaufwändig die Suche in verschiedenen Datenbanken und Katalogen ist.
