In Alison S. M. Kobayashi's presentation, one thing that stood out to me was her point on deep listening. I agree with Kobayashi in that deep listening can be used to learn more about people. When we listened to the recordings of the family, I felt that we were able to get a small glimpse of who these people were and their personalities. By listening to the recordings, you also get an idea of what families were like at the time. In addition to this, listening to the audio can help you create a visual image in your mind of what is happening as opposed to just reading the transcript.
Another thing about the presentation that I thought was interesting was how interactive it was. The audience played a role by representing members of the family and despite not actually have to act or even say anything, it helps you feel as though you are part of the performance which I think is much more engaging than just hearing someone speak about the project.
Overall I thought the presentation was very interesting in the way it presented what could be considered "old media" and showed how it can be used to create new and interesting experiences that also give us a glimpse of the lives and experiences of other people.
