ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the intersection of sound and visual arts within the domain of sonic arts, highlighting contemporary practices that illustrate these relationships. Through a survey of recent artistic works, this study showcases various approaches, technical solutions, and outcomes that underscore the importance of exploring the confluence of sound and visual arts. Emphasis is placed on the properties and behaviors of sound, light, and audiovisual systems to generate meaning, potentially identifying a new genre referred to as the “audiovisual turning” of the arts. The discussion spans historical contexts, theoretical frameworks, and current practices, emphasizing the role of digital technologies and synesthesia in shaping modern sonic art.
