Abstract:
The artistic interrelation between sound and image has a long and rich history, expanded recently through new multimodal possibilities such as immersive collective experiences.
The international project Understanding Visual Music, or UVM, mainly focuses on exploring fulldome and immersive environments and has organized symposia, festivals and workshops, and inspiring events in several countries, disseminating and promoting experiences and research-creation projects in the Americas, Asia, and Europe for over a decade. Understanding Visual Music has also helped to create a worldwide network of artists and scholars interested in visual music and associated mixed-reality actions.
Understanding Visual Music proposes that participants live an aesthetic experience different from those usually presented in planetariums and similar environments. A symbiosis between art, science, and technologies that converge in the possibility of offering an audiovisual narrative that does not follow the usual moulds but explores the limits of human perception in an attractive “traditional” context (e.g., planetariums and fulldome theatres), with an innovative artistic proposal such as visual music.
Understanding Visual Music proposes an encounter in collective immersive spaces as a way of weaving networks that connect artists, scientists and technology experts but also open the possibilities of exploring and enjoying visual music, fulldome experiences, and mixed-reality electronic art to everyone.
