mix of over 100 individual sounds contributed by artists working in Italy
Sound Fetish
created for WPS1 broadcast at Venice Biennale 2005
 
 
Sound Fetish - (5 seconds and/or infinity)
A partial panorama of “art sounds” in Italy (artists, composers, designers, performers, poets, etc. living and working in Italy)
Compiled and mixed by Steve Piccolo for WPS1 in May 2005
Broadcast by WPS1 MoMA from 12 June 2005 at the Venice Biennale
- via web at www.wps1.org
- via radio on 99.1 FM in Venice

Contributors were asked to submit either sounds with a duration of about five seconds, or a sonic continuum (loop or long track) of indeterminate, potentially infinite length.

The response to our call for contributions was literally overwhelming... proof that sound as a medium of artistic expression is alive and well in Italy, in spite of the customary delay on the part of the country’s art institutions to recognize the fact that art doesn’t only mean things you can hang on the wall. And also proof of the fact that everyone wants to be in the Venice Biennale.

PROFOUND THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
