As we have worked on mobile phone tour of
the CWU campus, students have been playing with different ways to call
attention to art and landscape locations, without necessarily speaking
in an "authoritative" or monologic voice. Leah for instance recorded a
poem ("World Tree", 108) set in the campus arboretum, in which she
speaks in the voice of a primal Mother Tree. Vernee (117) introduces
her favorite residence hall by taking on the voice of a student newly
arrived on campus in the 1960s. Liz situates herself daydreaming in
class, wondering about the Cascade Cradle (106) sculpture out the window. Sean rather hilariously ponders the meaning of liminality (105) while hanging on the Dean lawn.Hanna (119) narrates the campus through the eyes of a coyote spirit returning to the landscape after a century's absence.
Here is the current list of audio prompts.
Dial (509) 350-5040
Then enter the prompt number, followed by the # sign.
The easiest place to start is in the Dean Hall lobby in front of the Museum of Culture and Environment, facing John Hoover's 1972 sculpture, "The Man who Married an Eagle"
