Visual representation of sound in modern art

Abstract

As sound art has become more widely known, more and more artists have begun to create works in this form, most frequently in the form of what is referred to as “sound visualisation.” However, in terms of actual creation and artistic expression, the fusion of sound art and visual art sometimes appears to be incongruous and, to a certain extent, even hinders the meaning of the work itself. Through an analysis of the way sound art works are created and exhibited, this paper presents a refl ection on the interplay between sound art creation and exhibition for the author and the audience, and refl ects on the practical role of sound art and the signifi cance and impact of combining it with visual art. By re-examining today’s artworks, the author hopes to explore the new fusion of sound art and visual art created in the current era, thus promoting the continuous improvement and development of sound art as a new artistic language
