Slide1
As video art has matured from its earliest, performance
-based
roots
, artists have embraced an idea
-driven
process
that
although
still
possessing strong
performative
components, is today more abstract and
poetic. Contemporary
media
artists,
freed by advances in digital editing
technology,
are creating
new viewing experiences that are best described as
cinematic
or
immersive. Slide2
…
cinematic
embraces
what we commonly associate with traditional cinema: lush images
, inventive
camerawork and lighting (cinematography), large scale projection,
and passive
viewing in a darkened theater. It is
this last
ingredient that is
being challenged
in video installation. In fact, cinema itself has become an art of video
, with
celluloid film disappearing at a rapid rate as the preferred
medium
of filmmaking
. Video has claimed the moving image domain. Cinema is
now undeniably
expanded; installation is prefiguring a new cinematic
spectator
/
image
relationship based on interaction
.

Does the “new
cinematic
spectator/image relationship” in contemporary video installation also apply to its soundscape—(how) did the modernist soundscape that Emily Thompson described in her book translate itself into an installation space?Slide8
The “problem” of reverb and echo in gallery spaces – the need to acoustically “dampen” the space
Spatialization
of sound: multi-channel, track, station of sound in an installation. Sound becomes localized (as zones or stations within the installation).
Electroacoustic soundscape plus experiential (we are meant to move around in our experience of an installation) soundscapeSlide9
Site-specificity
Immersion: surround sound, special effects, virtual realitySlide10
