Rumour and Radiation: Sound in Video Art

'In the book, Paul Hegarty provides insight into and evidence of the audiovisual nature of video arts as it turns out to play a key role in contemporary crossmedia practices. He argues that sound and image in video are different yet connected to each other. With this study, Hegarty challenges the understanding of hearing and seeing and gives us a comprehensive account of intermedial and synaesthetic exchanges in the artistic practices of sound and visual materials. From video installations in the nineties to large scale projections and datastreaming of encoded information in today's expanded media environments, the book's discoursive approach bridges the gap between sound and visual studies. The work sets a new tone fro readjustments and critical engagement with multi-sensorial processes in our still predominantly "visually" conceived culture.' - excerpted from back cover.
