Reading Response 7

These reviews were about the artwork in the sonambiente art festival in Berlin, all of which had something to do with the use of sound. One of the groups involved in the production of this festival was Tesla, which gives artists a space to experiment with media arts. There were some pieces in the festival that involved sports, especially soccer, or as they call it, football with either the sound that the ball would hear or the audio recording of the televised game. Others involved walking through the artwork in order to hear the different changes in sounds, which may or may not be pleasant to listen to.

Most of the works were impressive and looked interesting to even try some if I had a limitless budget and knowledge of programming. Although the pieces I did find interesting were the ones that involved modifying already made objects and using them to manipulate and interact with the piece. It seems plausibly complicated to code something that is so simple to use yet so complex in the possibilities.
