Frequenzen [Hz] Audiovisuelle Räume

Frequenzen [Hz]
Frequencies [Hz] presents current positions of contemporary artists who work with sound within the context of visual art. The publication features works of sculptural and visual art alongside specific, often "minimalistic" installations and interventions in which employ sounds or electronicexperiments with sound that impact upon the perception of architecture or otherwise influence the social components of individual experience. Beyond the scope of the defining non-material characteristics of sound, sound becomes a formal material, a kind of audible sculpture accompanied by discourse on its constructive, societal, philosophical, and emotional aspects. The use of sound in visual art is closely linked with the development of strategies involved in sculpture, installations, and interdisciplinary art forms. It profits from the technology of the new media. Thus the participating artists reflect not only upon the influence of new technological media on visual art and culture but upon the institutional context and the situation that evolves between the work of art and the viewer.
