arts, visual · EN

Topics include: "interpretive audio programs" created and voiced by Google Notebook by providing "guided journeys" through architecture; sound installations like Alex Lee Harris's *"CAGED Ringtone" (a haunting soundtrack); performances focused on sound innovation, such as #NADAWAVE; and scripts detailing the evolution of vocal sound from a "burst" to "the word". We also examine video installations by Camille Henrot and Ed Atkins using music/vocal elements and conceptual works like Ryan Gander's Bad Language (The iconography and abstraction of tone explored).
