  • Your Concise New York Art Guide for Spring 2018
    Your Concise New York Art Guide for Spring 2018 February 28, 2018 Events Your list of 45 must-see, fun, insightful, and very New York art events this season. Leonard Fink, “Self-Portrait on Pier 46 (“This is Serious Too”)” (1979), silver gelatin print, 8 x 10 in (collection and © of the LGBT Community Center National History Archive) We’re back with our yearly spring guide of must-see, fun, insightful, and very New York art events. From museum shows to air fairs to film festivals, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy with this season. Please note that some of the exhibitions listed here opened in January and February, but lucky for us they continue through the spring. January The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Baya: Woman of Algiers When: January 9–March 31 Where: Grey Art Gallery (100 Washington Square East, Greenwich Village, Manhattan) The Grey Art Gallery is putting on two fascinating and very distinct exhibitions this season. One displays neuroscientist Santiago Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of the brain, which are not only beautiful but remarkably clear and accurate. Eighty of his drawings, which date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, will be shown alongside contemporary visualizations of the brain. The gallery’s second exhibition is devoted to Baya Mahieddine (known as Baya), an Algerian artist who has yet to gain international recognition. Her vibrant, patterned gouaches Baya, “Femme et enfant en bleu (Woman and child in blue)” (1947) and ceramics drew the attention gouache on board, 22 3/4 x 17 7/8 in (Collection Isabelle Maeght, Paris © of André Breton, Henri Matisse, Photo Galerie Maeght, Paris) and Pablo Picasso.

  • What Does Art Sound Like? an Exploration of Art Through Sound
    What does Art Sound Like? An exploration of Art through Sound. Developed by: Catherine Ewer Suggested Grade Level(s): 1 –3 Suggested Length of Class Time: One 60-minute class Subject Areas: Visual Art, Language Art Rationale When it comes to artwork, there is generally a lot of focus on “looking with our eyes” but much can be gained by entering further into the creative experience through sound. In this lesson students will study a piece of art and interpret it as an audio experience, adding a whole new creative layer. Children love creating Soundscapes and will enjoy the ingenuity and imagination necessary to “hear” a painting. This is truly a creative group experience in which everyone’s input is valuable. During the creation of the Soundscape there will be a lot of discussion around sounds using descriptive vocabulary, which the students can then draw upon as inspiration to create short written narratives. Logistics: Classroom setup – group class work, individual work at desks Materials – image of one or more paintings, large enough to look at as a class, sound recorder, or device capable of recording sound. Suggested resources/images – online image banks from various art gallery and museum sites; art reproduction posters, individual art postcards, etc. Some suggestions for types of images are landscapes, seascapes, crowd scenes or an image rich in action. Suggested Outcomes: Students will be expected to: - Explore a variety of sound sources - Work together in group music and art making - Experiment with language choices in imaginative writing and other ways of representing - Share writing or other representations with others and seek feedback - With assistance, experiment with technology in writing and other forms of representation - Select, organize, and combine (with assistance) relevant information to construct and communicate meaning Introduction: As a class, look closely at an image and examine every part.

Turntablism refers to the use of turntables as musical instruments, essentially to alter and manipulate the sound of recorded music. Audio art refers to the arrangement of excerpts of musical selections, fragments of recorded speech, and ‘found sounds’ in unusual and original ways. The following paper outlines past and current difficulties in regulating these newer genres of music. It reports on an examination of programs from 22 community and campus stations across Canada. Given the abstract, experimental, and diverse nature of these programs, it may be difficult to incorporate them into the CRTC’s current music categories and the current MAPL system for Canadian Content. Nonetheless, turntablism and audio art reflect the diversity of Canada’s artistic community.

Received: 16 September 2019; Accepted: 19 September 2019; Published: 21 September 2019 Abstract: The soundscape is defined by the International Standard Organization (ISO) 12913-1 as the human’s perception of the acoustic environment, in context, accompanying physiological and psychological responses. Previous research is synthesized with studies designed to investigate soundscape at the ‘unconscious’ level in an effort to more specifically conceptualize biomarkers of the soundscape. This review aims firstly, to investigate the consistency of methodologies applied for the investigation of physiological aspects of soundscape; secondly, to underline the feasibility of physiological markers as biomarkers of soundscape; and finally, to explore the association between the physiological responses and the well-founded psychological components of the soundscape which are continually advancing.

  • Real-Time 3D Graphic Augmentation of Therapeutic Music Sessions for People on the Autism Spectrum
    Real-time 3D Graphic Augmentation of Therapeutic Music Sessions for People on the Autism Spectrum John Joseph McGowan Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2018 Declaration I, John McGowan, declare that the work contained within this thesis has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Furthermore, the thesis is the result of the student’s own independent work. Published material associated with the thesis is detailed within the section on Associate Publications. Signed: Date: 12th October 2019 J J McGowan Abstract i Abstract This thesis looks at the requirements analysis, design, development and evaluation of an application, CymaSense, as a means of improving the communicative behaviours of autistic participants through therapeutic music sessions, via the addition of a visual modality. Autism spectrum condition (ASC) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect people in a number of ways, commonly through difficulties in communication. Interactive audio-visual feedback can be an effective way to enhance music therapy for people on the autism spectrum. A multi-sensory approach encourages musical engagement within clients, increasing levels of communication and social interaction beyond the sessions. Cymatics describes a resultant visualised geometry of vibration through a variety of mediums, typically through salt on a brass plate or via water. The research reported in this thesis focuses on how an interactive audio-visual application, based on Cymatics, might improve communication for people on the autism spectrum. A requirements analysis was conducted through interviews with four therapeutic music practitioners, aimed at identifying working practices with autistic clients.

  • From Hydrophonics to Interactive Sound Fountains
    From Hydrophonics to Interactive Sound Fountains Johannes Birringer From “Series One” – Open Studio Exhibition, Derby University April – May 2008. Although modest and seemingly unspectacular, Caroline Locke’s phrase “seeing sound” – a phrase she used to describe her interests in creating sculptural sound-performance works when I first met her in 2004 – has stuck with me. It is an odd paradox, but one that has gained resonance in recent years as we have moved along with the scientific and technological advances in a culture obsessed with data visualizations and location mapping. Today’s ultrasonic medical scanning of our arterial blood flow allows us to peer inside ourselves, so to speak. We depend on x-ray vision to diagnose a fracture of our bones, and neurologists look into our brains to pinpoint areas responsible for thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sound and vision are two closely related sensory registers, yet we do not commonly think of sight being audible, and sound being visible. We do not see with our ears, we use them to listen to the wind as we go forth in the world, as the anthropologist Tim Ingold once suggested, noting that wind and breath are intimately related in the continuous movement of inhalation and exhalation that is fundamental to life and being.1 1 Cf. Tim Ingold, “Against Soundscape,” in Angus Carlyle (ed.), Autumn. Leaves: Sound and the Environment in Artistic Practice (Paris: Double Entendre, 2007), pp. 10-13. 2 Even though my immediate contact with Caroline Locke’s artistic creativity and collaborative ventures was limited to a brief two-year period (2004-05), I propose to reflect here on her major performance installation Hydrophonics (2005) and her on-going preoccupation with water and sound, attempting to sketch a particular collaborative and interactive trajectory in the various manifestations of her artistic project.
