sensesonic is a series of events and online discussions
exploring audiovisua environments and sonic space, seeking to prize
open the grey area between clubs and installations, and looking
at the implications of the convergence of media for audience participation.
it will explore ways of thinking of sound systems other than simply
in terms of volume. is it possible to have a distributed, responsive
sound field, without destroying the collective experience of listening
to music? how can video escape the two dimensional screen? how can
sound and vision work together to create an immersive space? what
possibilities are opened by new technologies and media such as surround
sound and dvd? When does sound become unwanted noise? is there a
sonic art which does not forget the sensuality of sound?
