The Sound of Violence
soundart 2022 curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne
Before anything else, violence is primarily defining itself also through sound.
But sound is not representing a mere accompanying phenomenon, but sound can be also dominating unusually violent, in every-day-life, as well as a destructive tool in torture and war, through the misuse of sound – not only in terms of its volume, but also in terms of the associations connected with certain kinds of sound, and – these destructive phenomena are all – human made.
Compared with the natural sounds, the artificially generated sound has always the potential to become a weapon of physical or psychological harm & destruction.
As a project – The Sound of Violence – would like to reflect the destructive potential of violence via the non-visual medium of sound.
