SoundLab Presents: Audio-Visual @ Seeing Sound

12-13 December 2020 :: SoundLab Presents: Audio-Visual @ Seeing Sound
Streaming program curated by Ryo.

A selection of sound and moving image works by PerMagnus Lindborg, Ryo Ikeshiro, András Blazsek, Edwin Lo, Manni Chen and Alexmalism aka Alex Yiu.

Seeing Sound is an informal practice-led symposium exploring multimedia work which foregrounds the relationship between sound and image. It explores areas such as visual music, abstract cinema, experimental animation, audiovisual performance and installation practice through paper sessions, screenings, performances and installations.

For the streaming program, audio-visual works by artists primarily working with sound at the School of Creative Media were selected which present a diverse range of approaches to the combination of audio and visual media. Beginning with Michel Chion’s notion of “added value” (Chion 1994, 5) whilst at times challenging the audiovisual litany as per Jonathan Sterne (Sterne 2003, 15), the possibilities of sound/moving image are brought to the fore.
