SOUND

Tuning in to this incessant auditory stimulus some of our most influential artists have investigated the corporeal, cultural and pol itical resonance. In tandem with recent experimental music and technology, art has opened up to hitherto excluded dimensions of nois e, silence and the act of listening. Artists working with sound have engaged in new forms of aesthetic encounter with the city and n ature, the everyday and cultural otherness, technological effects and psychological states.
