Ethnography - the studio of people
Wendy Hsu - Talking about her LA listens project, (http://www.lalistens.org)
We listen to the interrelationships between the sensory, social, and ecological aspects of streets in Los Angeles. We transform our research into a creative and engagement platform for community-oriented artists, planners, and organizers. Collectively, we ascertain the meanings of vibrancy and question the impact of motorized vehicles, pedestrians, conversations, helicopters, and street vendors in the multivalent soundscape of LA’s neighborhoods.
What if the site doesn't have vibrancy - what if its on the other side of the spectrum - a dead space or as more accurately and in the words of Marc Augé, a non-place.
