Three Keywords In Sound Art That Interest Me

My first of three chosen keywords within sound arts is kinetic. To me this word conforms to my aspirations within the study as it insists working with physical objects under motion to create sound. It also interests me because kinetic sound arts are highly visual as you can see the sound at its source being created. I think kinetic works are a powerful way to express ideas as they require multiple human senses to obverse and understand making them complex as well as simple.

My second keyword is perception. I think to me this word means how the viewer themselves experience a piece of sound art and how feelings can differentiate completely between each person. Also, the idea of perception when creating art opens the ability to incorporate a multisensory experience for the viewer which ties into audio/visual aspects of kinetic sound arts.

My final chosen keyword relating to sound arts is undefined. To me this word is most powerful of all within sound arts as its strong but simple meaning details that there is no true definition of what sound art is or can be. This is heavily disputed but to me sound arts has no true definition other than that of using sound as a factor when conveying ideas. I also think sound arts should not be defined as doing so restricts and confines artists which stops them from being as creative as they want to be.
