Abstract:
This article introduces the new dynamics and challenges in making sound art virtual while posing new questions about previously neglected aspects, such as archiving sound in a virtual space. By referencing the historical examples of Ryuichi Sakamoto and Nam June Paik, this article recognizes the limits of previous archiving methods and technologies while revisiting the essential question of power under emerging media and algorithms.
With a focus on virtual archiving, this article investigates the new boundaries of sound art in an updated context while advocating an alternative framework to evaluate the relationship between the virtual and real, not only as a fluid location as put by Gilles Deleuze, but also as an integrated system to be located in time and space.
