An interdisciplinary compendium of audiovisual culture, this very nice art catalogue explores the connections between image and sound in art, media and perception. "Artists today take an engagement with the sound of this world for granted. The former predominance of the visual has meanwhile been replaced by a multifaceted interplay of image and sound. Even though contemplative quiet still largely predominates in museums, sound, experimental composition, audiovisual media and pop culture have become central references for visual art in the 20th century. See This Sound documents this development from the perspective of visual art and refers to the respective contemporary discussions and promises." This all-embracing compendium brings together texts on various art forms in which the relationship between sound and image plays a signifi cant role and the techniques used in linking the two. The entire spectrum of audiovisual art and phenomena is presented in 35 dictionary entries. Overarching issues are explored deeply in thorough essays and individual works are represented in audiovisual documentation and scientific comment.
