RETHINKING THE IDEA: This is how I would think a computer would breathe if we gave it life.
greeting card event
My project, "greeting card event", was just a joy to plan, create, and stage. I set out to explore the relationship that people have with greeting cards and their own image. As I stated in my proposal, when people consume greeting cards, the anonymous subjects tend to take on a universal quality which allows people to connect to them. When I made my friends the subjects of the greeting cards, I had hoped to illicit a response that would be similar to greeting cards, but also change the way in which they consumed the cards. What actually happened had a very different energy which I personally associate more with Christmas. The act of gathering for gift giving (sometimes with cards) is a constructed event with certain unspoken rules or conventions that were very much present during the greeting card event.
My process:
I made the greeting cards on Zazzle, an easy-to-use platform that I think most people use to make personalized wedding invitations or other stuff of that sort.

This piece is very jarring (in a good way). The silence makes the listener hyper aware of their breath, but it becomes harder to breathe normally as you hear the unsteady rhythm of the piece. I really like your idea that this is how a computer would breathe. I hadn't thought of that when I first heard it, but it adds an interesting element to the sound.
