about
discerned (perceive by sight, sound or other sense) is a project that uses visual, sound and kinetic components to explore the relationship between the formats, experimenting with how they can invoke and direct the combined outcome. Images and audio recordings are made using a Nokia 930 mobile phone with its enhanced camera and microphone capabilities for immediacy and spontaneity of creation - both often produced at the same point - a kind of audio visual diary. The use of this website is also critical to the distribution and viewing of this work as it gives broad accessibility and facilitates the combined audio and visual delivery. The medium also allows for careful scaling to a similar size to a mobile phone screen, images with backlit luminosity and the use of a digital floating magnifying glass to emulate the outcomes of the finger zoom gesture of a mobile device, which allows the viewer to search for the close up detail contained within the image. The project started in November 2014 currently has no deadline and is expected to last several years to allow the body of work to grow. Not all images have audio yet but are still displayed here as works in progress until the right sound component is collected.
Note: audio will not automatically play when you visit a page using IOS and Android mobile devices due to inbuilt mobile ‘autoplay’ restrictions. Please use the Play button 
on each page to start the audio.
