Sound Installation Art - Experiments in the borderlands - Prof. Dr. Jacob Sello

In the 20th century, working with sound is not the exclusive domain of musicians and composers. In Sound Installation Art the sonic elements turn out to be a space-consuming and sculptural material of the fine arts. In contrast to traditional music where time is the main concern, many sound artist focus on spacial aspects more than on time-based narrativity. Their “atmospheric soundscapes” often appear to be quasi-static, while the visitors are by no means passive consumers as in a classical concert hall: they move through the sonic environments at their individual pace and become interactive protagonists of their very own aesthetic experience. In sound installation art, the sounding atmospheres create moods and emotions constituting feelings and the subjective experience. In this introductory presentation historic and technological developments relevant for the emergence of interactive Sound Installations are discussed. In addition, dimensions of space and aesthetic are considered.
