CALL FOR WORKS - UNITY

 

 

Sonic Artists in Wales are proud to announce: 'UNITY - a showcase of Original Octophonic Acousmatic Sonic Art.'

 

The objective of UNITY is to encourage and celebrate the collaboration between creative institutions and sonic artists; displaying the importance of sharing ideas and research whilst establishing an open forum to discuss octophonic and acousmatic art forms.

 

We are putting out a call for works for pieces of octophonic acousmatic sonic art that reflect upon how technologies communicate and how our understanding of technology, processes and interactions can help encourage scientific advancement and develop our evolution as a species.
