Il suono che dialoga con le arti e la creatività diventa disciplina. La sua stessa natura lo rende un veicolo perfetto nell’interconnessione con i più diversi linguaggi. Come molti generi di arte contemporanea, l'arte del suono è di natura interdisciplinare, o assume forme ibride. La sound art può convergere in tematiche come l'acustica, la psicoacustica, l’elettronica, la noise music, nei supporti audio o nei suoni ambientali, nelle esplorazioni del corpo umano, in scultura, nei film o nei video e in una serie in continua espansione di soggetti/oggetti che sono parte della discussione permanente sull'arte contemporanea. Nell'arte occidentale primi esempi includono gli intonarumori di Luigi Russolo e i successivi esperimenti dadaisti, fino ai surrealisti dell'Internazionale Situazionista o gli happening di Fluxus. A causa della diversità della sound art e delle sue variabili espressive, estetiche, modali, spinge ancora oggi al dibattito se l'arte del suono rientra nel campo di dell'arte visiva, della musica sperimentale, o di entrambi. Altre linee artistiche da cui l'arte del suono emerge sono l’arte concettuale, il minimalismo, il site-specific, la poesia sonora, la parola, la poesia d'avanguardia, e il teatro sperimentale, la performance, l’installazione. In questo spazio vogliamo rappresentare le tante [illimitate?] potenzialità del suono senza porre freni alla ricerca, senza disegnare confini, assolutamente liberi. Questo spazio è un luogo dove la condivisione di idee, spunti, considerazioni e, soprattutto di proposte, saranno benvenute! Buon ascolto. Sound Art Zone
