Limited Access 5 | Re-sonic Re-view

Curated by Sarvenaz Mostofey

Majority of projects in new media arts are being created under ephemeral circumstances, because of transitory nature of these projects, recording and archiving becomes an important undertaking. Preservation and re-presentation is of critical importance to the artists as well as the audience and the art spaces that are involved in these projects.

This program investigates various modes of documentations of sound installations/performances and how it can be perceived as an independent work and how this can generate wider audience for these kinds of projects. Re-sonic Re-view is an attempt to explore various experimentations in documenting sound, questioning if it can be identified as an independent medium itself. The program also seeks to demonstrate the evolutionary process inherent in the different approaches, in which sound plays a critical role in the artistic creation.
