Inframedia Audio: Glitches and Tape Hiss

Author: Mr Mitchell Whitelaw, feature

This article focuses on that which is known as 'sound art', 'new media art' or if a label is required the best might be simply 'audio'. It is not so much a sound as a transparent substrate for organised expression but rather sound being mediated, synthesised, generated, collaged. Furthermore this article looks at the in-between sounds - the glitches, clicks, pops, and CD-skips - with many artists drawing on these entropic internal workings of audio processing systems. Artists include Nam June Paik, Minit, David Haines, Vicky Browne, Andrew Gadow and Netochka Nezvanova.
