Abstract:
Panel: Voicing Electronic Arts
This paper introduces the panel’s key themes in relation to vocal aesthetics: voice as inter-subjective, paradoxical, uncanny, intimate – determined by, and determining of, spatial relationships. It discusses inter-disciplinary theoretical approaches to voice and uses specific examples from media arts to discuss modalities and techniques of voice. Finally, it looks at how the current digital and networked moment is opening new possibilities for artists working with voice on the one hand, and how on the other hand, attention to vocal aesthetics is helping us to understand such currently ubiquitous phenomena as authenticity effect and performativity.
