ARH 389 - Sound as a Medium of Art

Credits 3.00
Requirements: Prereq: Junior Standing, any CVPA major
An introduction to the practice of “sound art.” Through readings/listening assignments, students learn about historical and contemporary artists (from Annea Lockwood to Christine Sun Kim) who have taken sound out of concert halls and into museums. Through hands-on projects, students learn to: record/digitally edit sound; capture vibrations, underwater sound, and electromagnetism with DIY microphones; create experimental compositions and installations.
