Ideas

What are the things I am interested in and want to explore for?

Foley Art & Hyperreal Sound

The constructed nature of sound in media (e.g., how everyday sounds in films are artificially created).

Sound as a Luxury Product

High-end audio culture (vinyl resurgence, audiophile-grade headphones).

 Conceptual Sound: When Sound Isn’t Sound

Imaginary Soundscapes: Works that exist only as descriptions (e.g., Yoko Ono’s “Secret Piece”). ? Sound is a vibration in Physics.

“Art is not a special thing. Anyone can do it. Making art does not have to be so unusual. What I mean is that middle-aged men and housewives, your neighbors can also do it…. If everybody were to become an artist, what we call “Art” would disappear. I think it would be fine if this were to happen and [what I have envisioned] becomes a reality.” Yoko Ono

The Absurd & Satirical Sound Art

Anti-Functional Audio: Sound art that deliberately fails (e.g., broken instruments, feedback loops as protest).
