Sound Art Installation

An art installation that emphasizes the sonic experimentation and the production and perception of sound. Although typically site-specific, Sound-Art Installations may also be adapted to different spaces; in both cases, however, the acoustic attributes of the setting are an integral part of the listening experience. Some installations are meant to be experienced passively, but they often incorporate ways for listeners to interact with and affect the sound-producing mechanisms by way of sensors, pressure pads, and microphones.
