Correction: Huge VM show & symposium opens Aug 28, LinzΑπό: "C Keefer" <keefco@earthlink.net>This message was posted by Center for Visual Music on a number of lists, originally the post was sent to CVM by Sandra Naumann. Center for Visual Music is involved with this show and has contributed films, research, images, consultation, etc. to this exhibition, plus lectures/guest speakers in October. C.

See end of email for full list of artists in the exhibition. There are related events throughout the length of the exhibition including lectures, screenings, performances - weblog of events through December is at http://blog. see-this- sound.at/ veranstaltungen- und-termine/ (so far only in German)(Forwarded, from Sandra Naumann)here some information on a project in Austria (with some contributions of the CVM and Cindy Keefer).Would be great to see you there!Best,SandraSEE THIS SOUNDEXHIBITION / WEB ARCHIVE / SYMPOSIUMThe project SEE THIS SOUND explores the past and present of the link between image and sound in art, media and perception. The starting point is the fact that our world of experience today is marked by an omnipresence of audiovisual products and structures, in which the cultural production of image and sound is closely intertwined artistically, and in terms of media technology and market strategy. SEE THIS SOUND reacts to this by presenting and discussing different realizations of contemporary art and art studies. The current fields of reference range here from pop culture to the theory of perception and media technology.1.) SEE THIS SOUND: SYMPOSIUM Sound-Image Relations in Art, Media and Perception2-3 September 2009Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research.The goal of the international symposium is an interdisciplinary exchange among the theoretical and aesthetic thematic fields of the project. At the intersection of different academic disciplines the conference touches, among others, on art and music studies, media and art theory, media archeology, and the history of media technology. Artistic presentations are integrated in the course of the conference to stimulate the dialogue between art and science.PROGRAMWednesday, 2 September, 2009, 7:30 pm 7:30 pm Starting PerformanceBranden W.

SEE THIS SOUND: EXHIBITIONPromises in Sound and Vision28 August 2009 – 10 January 2010 There are sounds and noises all over the museum, as artists today take an engagement with the sound of this world for granted. The former predominance of the visual has meanwhile been replaced by a multifaceted interplay of image and sound. See this Sound documents this development from the perspective of visual art and refers to the respective contemporary discussions and promises.In eight sections the exhibition focuses on important milestones and historical-social points of reference, but without imposing a linear development. Starting from the filmic sound visualizations of the 1920s – so-called Eye Music – it traces the topos of traversing genre boundaries in the 1960s and questions psychedelic trance machines and multimedia sound environments about their social-political potential. The illusion of a “natural” interplay of image and sound, for instance in Hollywood movies, is countered by works that disclose the discrepancies of this purported synthesis, all the way to the loss of sound and the power of speech. In addition, there is a special focus on the local production conditions of sounds (industrial cities and industrial sounds), and on sound as a medium of institutional critique.Collaboration with the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research has also enabled the scholarly treatment of specific media history issues presented within the framework of a web archive and in the exhibition.Artistic and Scientific Lead: Stella Rollig und Dieter DanielsCurator: Cosima RainerAssistant Curator: Manuela AmmerProject Coordination: Veronika FlochScientific Collaboration: Sandra Naumann3.) SEE THIS SOUND: WEB ARCHIVEonline from 28 August 2009The interdisciplinary and trans-genre character of the project is especially conveyed within the framework of an online platform on the subject of sound-image relations (bilingual German-English) .This interdisciplinary field of knowledge has previously only been explored from the perspective of separate disciplines. For this reason, the audiovisual handbook pursues the goal of establishing a trans-disciplinary knowledge base of image-sound relations with contributions from experts. Specialists from art history, musicology, film theory, media studies, theater studies, pop theory, cognition psychology and neurology contribute their respective perspectives to an “audiovisuology” as an area of intersection between these academic fields. Text contributions from research work in the Institute are conjoined here with essays from external authors.On the basis of thematic focal points, a multitude of artist and theoretical standpoints are linked with one another and related to historical and scientific information. The entire spectrum of audiovisual arts and phenomena is presented with historical longitudinal sections and systematic cross-sections in 35 lexicon entries. Longer essays provide a more in-depth discussion of interdisciplinary themes. Examples of work are documented audiovisually and commented on and contextualized academically. Audiovisuality is thus at once the theme and the method of the online platform.The lexicon entries and audiovisual work examples that are coordinated and linked with one another through key words and time sections thus result in an overall view opening up new conjunctions of meaning. This procedure also enables overlapping and interlinking the artistic and academic elements of the project and developing new directions in the multimedia communication and representation of science and art. The academic texts from the online platform will also be published as a book. Editors: Sandra Naumann & Dieter DanielsSandra Naumann- Researcher - Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft GmbHLBI Medien.Kunst.
