【 摘 要 】

This article explored the capacity of mixed media to elicit meanings from their lookers. A multisensory exhibition of photographs and soundscape was utilized to achieve the objective. The photographs provided the visual stimulus while soundscape accompanied the images to provide an aural map of the area being documented. Both media helped in the meaning-making process. The area documented was the center of Davao City, Philippines—San Pedro Street—as it cradles the center of faith, the seats of power, and the center of commerce. But, with urban decay, this place seemed to lose its former glory. With the visual and aural stimuli, these stories (memories) embedded in the mind of the lookers are culled. This is the meaning-making process.
