OPPORTUNITY

Sound Device As Sculpture


Deadline:
Wed Jan 09, 2008 00:00

Call for Entry at Root Division, S.F.
Deadline: January 9, 2008

Sound Device as Sculpture

The curators are interested in showcasing original devices, processes, and appropriations used for making sound. We are soliciting submissions from various fields: music, visual art, performance and computing. We will select pieces in terms of their sculptural and conceptual qualities rather than musical viability. We are interested primarily in mechanical or material solutions whose formal qualities emerge from their sound making intention. The sculpture doesnt necessarily need to produce a sound but it should be implied that the object might once have or could produce a sound.

Questions of interest:
Can sound be implied in a sculptural object?
What are the conceptual components used to make a sound?
How do the sculptural qualities emerge from the sound function?
Is the sound present or absent? Is it precise, imprecise, or failed?
Is a specialist needed to use the device?
Does the viewer complete the sound object?
Can the public choose when and for how long to participate?
Is there poetic or sometimes destructive residue to mark the memory of a sound?
Does the device bridge different disciplines in interesting ways?

Deadline: January 5, 2008
Notification: January 15, 2008
Exhibition: March 2008
