Blind Date

A Sensory Deprivation Experiment

Rylie Muir & Sage Venna

For our experiment we decided to take away sight, smell and taste.

By making a mask we eliminated sight and smell.

The best part of the experiment was the lack of taste because we had purchased a tube
of mouth numbing Orajel.

We each selected three items of food.

Sage selected escargot, dragon fruit, and flan.

Rylie selected raw potato, blueberry pie, and a frosted wheatie.

We then made cryptic descriptions of each food item. 

Sliding in the tall stocks

Can easily be lost in a salty rain 

In a paste can ward off those thirsty for blood

Quietly eats, slowly walks, retreats to be alone

The scales will fool you 

Protecting a pile of golden taste

Sealed by fiery leafs

A polka-dot seed party 

A sour liquid over time

Curdled cattle run the fields

The cattle cry in runny streams

Leaving a trail of sweet caramel

Covered in a protective hide

Deep within the earth it reside

Allowed to grow, it possesses many eyes

Left on a windowsill

Various items used to fill

Its fruit has a crown in bloom

Shredded and woven like muscle fibers

Created by accident

It's part of a balanced breakfast

Sensory Deprivation Eduardo Larios

For my experiment, I decided to play Rainbow Six Siege with no sound. Siege is a competitive first-person shooter, one of its core elements is sound. Sounds help you locate enemies and build your next strategy.

I deactivate the master volume of the game and proceed to start a lone wolf playthrough on terrorist hunt ( Player vs AI). I was cautious, looking at every corner, looking for movement and danger signs.   Using destruction to my advantage, grenades, and my operator's ability. I was not confident in myself, because I felt something was missing. I just could rely on my visual sense which is not enough for a game like R6. In the end I got killed by the last enemy, and I was not surprised by the result.

Then I start a new playthrough with sound this time. I felt confident, I did not check every corner like the previous playthrough; Because I knew the enemy's locations. I rush and use my gadgets and the operator's ability to its maximum potential. I was victorious, I complete the mission.

This experience showed me how hearing is much more than just listening. It can be used much more than listening to music or entering a conversation.

(NOTE: Blogger won't let me upload the videos of the experiment because exceeds the uploading limit).

I wanted to make piece about how sensory deprivation

Is already right if front of us in an unexpected way. It's called being color blind.

Sensory Deprivation - Anastacia Kadomtsev

For my sensory deprivation project, I had many ideas and thoughts that I was trying to reconcile, and I wondered how to convey such into a tangible project. One of the foremost concepts that kept weaving its way into all the aspects we explored was the idea of darkness. Existence is an entirely different experience when you are deprived of even just one of your senses. I found myself playing with the idea of perception and how it is completely changed, based on a shift in your physical ability to sense. I created a digital artwork that explored this concept through my perception and experience as I played with depriving myself temporarily of different senses and the resulting atmosphere I felt.

Using newspaper and powdered graphite, I tracked my hands and feet as I explored my kitchen without eyesight.

Sensory Deprivation- Zane Tibbs

What I did was that I but a blindfold on and covered my ears, then I had my brother grab things from anywhere in the house and if it was food he would put it on the spoon and I would have to try and smell what it was and taste it to see what it was. When I tried the food I got them right. If it wasn't a food item, he would put it in the box and I would reach in and try to feel what it was. I got them all right when I was able to feel them.

Sensory deprivation - Jaiden Kinsey

For my Sensory deprivation project. I decided to paint with a blindfold. Rather than painting with just a regular paintbrush I decided to paint different items like a plastic tiger and a toy car. I thought the end product wasn't as interesting as the process was. The sped up video I have provided is really cool to look at as I slather on the paint and watch it drip down the canvas. I thought it was really interesting how the paint looked on the tools I have used as well.

We decided to brake off into smaller groups but the end goal was to have a clay version of the object.
The object was a toy tractor.
Becky gave Justin 15 seconds to feel the object and then sculpt.
Sage described the object for a small amount of time as Ed sculpted.
Since both experiences were different the clay version are a bit different.

                  Sensory Deprivation: The Feeling of Noise

   

    So for my choice of impairment, I chose to go without sound. There is some reasoning to why I selected this over the other options like the sacrifice of sight. For that option, my right eye is already a bid screwed, so I didn’t care too much on that part of it. Then taste and touch were a bit odd to me personally because I didn’t think either would’ve made a significant impact on my art. I then thought “hey, let’s do a thing where I document and give perspective on what this lack of hearing does to me.

    The first thing I did today was stick in a pair of earbuds in an attempt to close off as much sound as possible. The insulation wasn’t up to the standards I had, so I eventually went and found some earplugs. The improvement was substantial, so much so that one is an entirely different experience from the other. 

I then started to do what the lack of hearing would prevent: listen. I heard mostly the noise of blood rushing through my ears; resembling the noise of a washing machine spinning clothes in a way. It made this sound for pretty much the whole time I had the plugs in my ears. From there, I recalled a demonstration given by Helen Keller where she made a group of deaf students experience sound by having them bite down on part of a piano. It was such an experience for them that they were all crying by the end of it. I thought this was a combination of two things: the science of sounds travelling through space, and a feeling of the forces reacting from it. So I tried to feel for sound.

While I’ve been writing this paper, I even had my plugs in my ears to help me understand this feeling. I can feel the keyboard pushing back and even a part of the clickiness go through my fingertips. It’s so different from just listening to it because you pay more attention to how it feels to push and move. Then walking felt louder than it did when I could hear. The force of me pulling my legs up and down from the ground made what was an everyday event feel so foreign. Then while I was writing this, my sister barged into my room asking me something. I didn’t take the plugs out, and then what resulted from that was her yelling. 

Breathing and talking also felt equally foreign. Everything felt new to me, even though it was all trivial tasks that everyone does on a daily basis. You feel the tiny vibrations you make when air moves out of your body. One could even think that this was a part of the soul, but such a thought is better left with over dramatic poets. 

The last thing I could’ve done is go out. So I did that, and I went around town and did a few things. I went to McDicks to grab a drink and check the schedule, and it was jarring to see how busy it all was while I couldn’t heat the chaos I’m typically used to while working there. Then I drove over to Walmart to pick up some groceries. It was surprisingly peaceful because all the noise that’s typical of a store is all blocked out. I even talked to a few people and had to explain to them what I was doing. Though to my dismay, I had to take the plugs out of my ear because they were starting to hurt. 

All in all, I thought it was an interesting experience. If there was a better way to do this without hurting my ears, I would probably do it again at some point. Hopefully it wouldn’t involve the permanent loss of my hearing, because that wouldn’t be an experience at point; it would be a lifestyle that I’d have to deal with. From there, that’s all I have to say on the matter.

Sensory Deprivation KennadeeDutson

This was a collaborative, sensory deprivation project I did with my boyfriend. I blindfolded myself before I even took my camera out or got into the car. Colby, drove me to different locations and helped me use my camera to take pictures of the scenery around. I tried to guess where we were by the sounds but I never guessed right.
