#Acoustic

Sound art is the peculiar ritual of consecrating airborne vibrations as high culture. Sometimes it elevates construction noise, other times the whisper of wind, both hailed as “works.” Viewers listen intently, projecting personal meaning onto purposeless sound. Endless bells at night or crackling speakers gradually infiltrate daily life more thoroughly than any gallery painting. Sound is the most dull medium, yet it miraculously makes you forget boredom.
