THE SOUND INSTALLATION
Manuel Rocha Iturbide · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2007
In this paper we study the interaction between sound and the visual arts, its development in time, and its behavior in different acoustic spaces.We will concentrate on the concept of sound sculpture and sound installation, and on their aesthetic implications.The works analyzed belong to an interdisciplinary realm (often called sound art, time based art, and intermedia art), placed between the music and visual arts field.Different types of contexts that will be analyzed affect these works.Finally, we propose different sound organization techniques for the creation of sound installations.We hope that through this research, we will be able to understand better the complexity of these "new" sound aesthetic languages that also bring new paradigms about our perception and understanding of sound and its relationship with other media.
