Symposium Sonification (what, where, how, why)


The purpose of this symposium is to conduct a state of the art review of the use sonification* within art projects, with a focus on the use of data taken from our surroundings (in a broad sense) as opposed to gestural interfaces or electronic instruments.



a) What distinguishes sonification from other forms of data mediation ?


b) What are the different ways in which sonification is used in art ?


c) What parallels, similarities, differences & contradictions exist between the use of sonification or audio display for technical & for artistic purposes ?


d) What differences in the artistic approach does the use of realtime as opposed to recorded data imply ?


e) What is the importance of the relationship between the source of data and the way in which it is mediated ?



* “Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information data to sound”. G. Kramer, B. Walker, T. Bonebright, P. Cook, J. Flowers, N. Miner, and J. Neuhoff, “Sonification report: Status of the field and research agenda,” Tech. Rep., International Community for Auditory Display, 1999, http://www.icad.org/websiteV2. 0/References/nsf.html.

  • On Wednesday, two round table sessions of half a day will be held at LAMES where you are invited to present the current state of your research in relation to the themes of the symposium ("audiotopies" and "collective organizations"). Each round table participant will be invited to make a short presentation (maximum 20 minutes) this will be followed by a discussion moderated by Samuel Bordreuil and Jérôme Joy/Peter Sinclair.
