Presented by Contemporary Art Talks Programme (CATp).
This forum asks a panel of artists and a curator to consider what it is that makes sound so appealing to artists and audiences? Is it the immediacy of sound and the way in which it is connected to the present moment (of hearing/listening)? Or is it the different ways in which sound can access audiences that is its special appeal? Its potential for shared authorship and audience participation? And finally, has the spread of interactive gaming and digital technologies opened up more of a freeform attitude to making music / sound / noise?
David Cunningham is an artist and musician who has created a continuing series of installation works based on real time exploration of acoustics. He is Senior Research Fellow at London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London.
Lina Dzuverovic is the co-founder and Director of Electra, a London based contemporary art agency established in 2003. She has worked with artists and musicians including: Kim Gordon, Jutta Koether, Tony Oursler, Daria Martin, Hayley Newman, Christian Marclay, Kaffe Matthews, Carl Michael Von Hausswolff, Jacob Kirkegaard.
Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner) traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form. As well as producing compositions and audio CDs, his diverse body of work includes soundtracks for films, performances, radio, and site-specific multimedia installations.
