Lecture by Lena Chadaeva “Sound as a Creative Medium”
What is sound beyond a physical phenomenon — mythically, poetically, metaphysically?
To approach this phenomenon from different angles, we will look at sound through several prisms — physical, emotional, and metaphorical.
The focus of the lecture is sound as an artistic material.
We will touch upon:
– the physical nature of sound;
– psychoacoustics: the interaction of sound with the body and emotions;
– the symbolic and metaphysical layer of perception;
– the discipline of sound art;
– and the methods artists use to hear and feel sound in new ways.
