Audio-Visualism: Reframing Relationships Between Sound & Image

Audio-Visualism follows on from Live Visuals: History, Theory, Practice, which covered a broad history of Live Visual and Audio-Visual practice.

This volume covers the contemporary audio-visual world in greater detail, focusing on the works of artists who work in the interstices between sound, video, light, immersion, virtuality, and social engagement. This book establishes how the relationship between sound and image continues to be a dominant theme in the 21st Century. With contributions by scholars, researchers, and active practitioners, this collection demonstrates the knowledge spectrum of Audio-Visualism as movement, a practice, a research field and a philosophy.

This volume will appeal to a diverse audience, including scholars, students, creative practitioners, and professionals in fields such as audio-visual performance, media art, interactive media, VJing, and music technology. The practical sections of the book offer valuable insights that are highly relevant to contemporary audio-visual creation.
