SOUND/IMAGE Research Centre

Description

The SOUND/IMAGE Research Group is one of the most active clusters in the School of Stage and Screen. Using practice as a tool of critical enquiry, it investigates the possibilities available to create new aesthetic experiences through a range of sonic and audiovisual media technologies.

Its primary goals are:

• To deliver world leading research in sound and audiovisual practice.
• To effect change that increases diversity and opens access to contemporary electronic arts.
• Foster new research talent within a constructive, collaborative, community.
• Promote practice research methods as tools for novel understanding and critical analysis.

Exploring both the relationships between sound and the moving image, and the images which sound construct on their own, the centre is engaged in a wide range of international projects with high profile collaborative partners.

Research themes include:

• Audiovisual Composition / Sound and Image Relationships.
• Soundscapes and Binaural Audio
• Noise and Chaos
• Spatial Audio Composition
• Audience Experience and Response
• Theories and Concepts in Audiovisual Practice
• Increasing Diversity in Experimental Music and Electronic Arts

The centre strives to make progressive contributions to the contemporary electronic art landscape, challenging established knowledge and seeking to enrich the worlds of contemporary sound and audiovisual media.
