Borders of the Echo – Visualizing the Limits between Sound Art and Other Media.

Borders of the echo

Visualizing and sonorizing the limits between sound art and other media.

Sound art has been in constant contact with other disciplines. Sound artists have been using photography, interactivity & video, in the same way video artists, photographers, sculptors, painters and performers use sound in their pieces.

What are the borders of sound art?

Artists, in their works can visualize sounds, making them touchable, movable, bringing them outside their sonic reality. They can sonorize images, actions, colors and shapes in a transduction of the visual and physical reality. But the relation between sound and visual art, or sculpture, or performance is not that simple. Complex connections can ocur when deconstructing the elements of a transmedia artwork. Sounds can enter our system in the shape of a text or an object, but still it is a sound. Pierre Shaeffer´s «Objet Sonore» was first described and represented in a text. The study of sounds can become evident in a very different element.
