Welcome to Sound Projects

Sound, Noise, Silence, and Music - how do we define them? When we listen to these elements critically, how can we use them in our own work with an awareness of their social and political functions? This course will explore developments in sound art from the early-20th century to the present, to cultivate a critical ear for listening and creating. We will listen to work by artists who have blurred traditional boundaries of music, science, design, fine arts, and philosophy, and read critical writings in cultural studies, sound and media theory.

Distance and Aura (From Benjamin to Virilio)

We referred today to the concepts of Benjamin's 'aura' and Virilio's 'speed of light' regarding new means of communication and telecommunication. Distance and Aura is a really interesting chapter -I beleive- from Lev Manovich book "The Language of New Media".I hope you gonna enjoy that, ...as a 'thoughtful pleasure'.
