Immersion is the new orthodoxy. Within the production, curation and
critique of sound art, as well as within the broader fields of
sound studies and auditory culture, the immersive is routinely
celebrated as an experiential quality of sound, the value of which
is inherent yet strengthened through dubious metaphysical
oppositions to the visual. Yet even within the visual arts an
acoustic condition grounded in Marshall McLuhan's metaphorical
notion of acoustic space underwrites predispositions towards
immersion. This broad conception of an acoustic condition in
contemporary art identifies the envelopment of audiences and
spectators who no longer perceive from a distance but immanently
experience immersive artworks and environments. Immanence and
Immersion takes a critical approach to the figures of immersion and
interiority describing an acoustic condition in contemporary art.
It is argued that a price paid for this predisposition towards
immersion is often the conceptual potency and efficacy of the work
undertaken, resulting in arguments that compound the
marginalisation and disempowerment of practices and discourses
concerned with the sonic. The variously phenomenological,
correlational and mystical positions that support the predominance
of the immersive are subject to critique before suggesting that a
stronger distinction between the often confused concepts of
immersion and the immanence might serve as a means of breaking with
the figure of immersion and the circle of interiority towards
attaining greater conceptual potency and epistemological efficacy
within the sonic arts.
