Abstract

This paper explores the generative yet underexamined relation between human geography and sound art. Sound art has long been concerned with issues of spatiality, place and environment and yet interest in sound art from human geographers has been somewhat sparse, particularly when compared to the wealth of literature on visual art in the discipline. In this context, the paper does three things. First, it reviews debates in sound art theory to highlight how sound art is often discussed as performing critical interventions in perceptions of space. Second, it examines how such interventions have been engaged by human geographers in the limited body of literature currently existing on sound art in the discipline, which suggests that sound art can reveal some of the unheard histories, experiences and voices of spaces. Finally, it suggests that geographic engagements with sound art might productively explore the contention, legible in recent work in sound studies and philosophy, that sound art can create spaces of affect in which an audience is exposed to the limits of prevailing schemas of audibility. Rather than producing a better or more accurate representation of space, the paper argues that sound art instead can provoke affective encounters with alternative temporalities, silences and non-human life.

声音艺术地理学:聆听声音的极限
本文探讨了人文地理与声音艺术之间的生发性但未被充分研究的关系。声音艺术长期以来一直关注空间、地点和环境问题,但人类地理学家对声音艺术的兴趣却很少,特别是与该学科中关于视觉艺术的丰富文献相比。在此背景下,本文做了三件事。首先,它回顾了声音艺术理论中的争论,以强调声音艺术如何经常被讨论为对空间感知的关键干预。其次,它考察了人文地理学家如何在目前有限的关于该学科中声音艺术的文献中进行这种干预,这表明声音艺术可以揭示一些闻所未闻的历史、经验和空间的声音。最后,它表明,与声音艺术的地理接触可能会有效地探索争论,在最近的声音研究和哲学工作中清晰可见,声音艺术可以创造情感空间,在这种空间中,观众暴露在主流可听性模式的限制下。这篇论文认为,声音艺术并没有产生更好或更准确的空间表现,而是可以激发与另类时间、沉默和非人类生活的情感接触。
