"There is nothing else but sound, all that exists in vibration."
- Zbiniew Karlowski
Studio brief:
"There is a longstanding understanding that interactivity is both passive and poly temporal in nature. This is unlike the contemporary work that we are just beginning to explore in the modulation of the built environment through electronic art."
"The first phase of the term will deal with practice of sensing and recording of temporal and immaterial phenomenon through the membrane of an environment."
Immaterial study of an environment to reveal the evidence of modulation.

TUNED CITY berlin
Sounds like Architecture - lecture by Rahma Khazam was presented at Tuned City an architecture and sound festival held in July 2008 in Berlin. They examine architectural projects in which sound plays a dominant role ranging from applied acoustic or musical notions to the design of buildings, to collaborations between the two.
An American artists Mark Bain examines the sound potential of buildings by augmenting inaudible sounds. He talks of the connective tissue between structures and the audience that contributes to the sum of vibrations.
Two other artists Randy Yau and Scott Arfed talk about hearing with your body. They are looking at new ways of perceiving and experiencing with one's own body to achieve an acoustic sense of space.
The interesting thing about TUNED CITY is that of observing sound to measure the capacity of architecture, a phenomenon of resonance or sympathetic vibration where all things are working in one continuum.
An interesting sound art exhibit is the Frequency Test ST20 - SOUND at the Bass Museum of Art
Hilary Pfeifier creates art through adjusting the frequency and watching the vibrations that cause the salt/sugar molecules to bounce around and form patterns on a metal surface.
Arthur Ganson creates these funky art installations that seem to run themselves. Here is one called "Wishbone"
