Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

Sound has played an important role in art discourses and practices over the last three decades. This module will cover the history, theory, aesthetics, techniques, and technologies used in sound art. Topics will include the historical roots of sound art in avant-garde movements like Dada and Fluxus, theoretical and aesthetic considerations that challenge traditional notions of space and perception, and the impact of technological advancements from tape music to digital audio, computer music programming, spatial audio technologies, and sensors and actuators. Key forms of sound art such as sound installations, sound sculptures, soundscape composition, and sound walks, as well as their intersection with other visual arts, will be explored, along with performance aspects including live sound performances and interactive installations. The module will be delivered through workshops, lectures, and tutorials, emphasizing hands-on engagement, critical discussion, and the development of individual projects.
