Essays and images that map art's new sonic cosmos, illustrated in
color throughout. This milestone volume maps fifty years of
artists' engagement with sound. Since the beginning of the new
millennium, numerous historical and critical works have established
sound art as an artistic genre in its own right, with an accepted
genealogy that begins with Futurism, Dada, and Fluxus, as well as
disciplinary classifications that effectively restrict artistic
practice to particular tools and venues. This book, companion
volume to a massive exhibition at ZKM | Karlsruhe, goes beyond
these established disciplinary divides to chart the evolution and
the full potential of sound as a medium of art. The book begins
with an extensive overview by volume editor Peter Weibel that
considers the history of sound as media art, examining work by
visual artists, composers, musicians, and architects alike.
Subsequent essays examine sound experiments in antiquity,
sonification of art and science, and internet-based sound art.
Contributors then survey the global field of sound art research and
practice, in essays that describe the past, present, and future of
sound art in Germany, Japan, China, the United States, the United
Kingdom, Russia, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and Scandinavia. The
texts are accompanied by an extensive photographic documentation of
the ZKM exhibition. Texts by Achille Bonito Oliva, Dmitry Bulatov,
