Sunday Sound Waves

Galerie8, London

guest curated by Alexa Kusber

Sound is ever-present; auditory mediation saturates life in the digital age – from soundtracks, to mobile telephones, to ‘noise’. Sound indexes past times and distant places; it is texture, the unseen fabric of our environment, often lying just beyond our conscious perception. It streams across networks, interrupts spaces, and shapes private dreamscapes. Sound is produced by transcoding and translation, generated from bodies both artificial and natural, transmuted into images and objects. It is produced and reproduced, stretched and compressed, imagined and heard. - Sonic Residues, Consortium for Digital Art, Culture, and Technology (cDACT)

Throughout six weeks in July and August, this series will aim to critically engage with the surrounding environment through sound, and to explore the influences it has on new ways of making and experiencing visual forms.

The series includes a broad range of artists and creators that are increasingly blurring genre lines and sensibilities in the realms of sound and the visual. Participating artists will do this by recording the sounds of architectural spaces, re-inventing musical instruments, using sound as a sculptural material, or working with music and cinematography.

The six individual sessions will each present an open platform for thought and discussion by engaging the audience with diverse scenarios surveying basic ideas connecting to sound such as the interplay of music, sound and visual images on a basis of current angles of approach and interpretation, as well as entire audio-visual environments, art with sound such as installations and video art, film, television, computer games and all forms of sound design.

The series is a consideration and reflection based on its objectives, artists, events and audience engagement.
