hey ada, my wife Lia was involved in an exhibition called See This Sound, curated by Sandra Naumann, which happened at the Lentos Kunstmuseum in Linz a while back. it was quite a groundbreaking exhibition in that it was an overview of all different kinds of artworks that used sound, moving image, and other kinds of technology in interesting ways; curatorially it was fantastic, in that it cut across genres/boundaries/ghettoes, putting Laurie Anderson next to Nam June Paik next to La Monte Young next to David Rokeby. i spoke with Sandra Naumann at Transmediale this year and she told me that it wass essentially an attempt to address the notion of 'audiovisuology' across all kinds of art, without feeling a need to segregate the artworks by technique, starting from a new beginning so to speak.
the associated book, "See This Sound: Audiovisuology Compendium" edited by Dieter Daniels and Sandra Naumann and has just been published, and it's also very nice: a collection of essays that, like the exhibition, attempt to address the multiple histories that bring forth both the artworks that people are now trying to call 'new media', and contemporary artworks dealing with similar issues. and i think they do so very well. apparently much of the text is available online at http://www.see-this-sound.at , otherwise the book is published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln 2010. -- damian stewart .. @damiannz ..
