Sonic Forms and Acoustic Matter

An Investigation into the Sculptural Possibilities for Conjunctions of Sound and Materiality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an account of art works made between
1997-2002 that investigated convergences of recorded
sound and physical materiality. These activities
fused autobiography with wider historical
perspectives in an openly interpretive engagement
with the symbolism of heritage sites. In addition, I
have drawn upon sources such as radio broadcasts
together with the digital acoustics of video game
parlours to reposition notions of simulation,
facsimile and electronic information as so much
virtual weight. The projects were formulated as
site-specific installations following diverse lines
of enquiry, which included an examination of the
acoustics of geographical space; travel throughout
India and Japan to study sonic relations within
architectural forms, and recording at other global
locations in furtherance of a project concerned with
the enigma of silent spaces.
