Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between theories and terms pertaining to Sound Art, Intermediality, Hybrid and Installation Art. These concepts and categories will be examined from the perspective of a practising sound artist. The study looks at key artists and theories, to better understand how these terms emerged and how they have influenced the context of discourse between the academy, scholars, and practitioners. A primary concern of the paper is to contextualize the importance of the terminology in light of the increasingly nebulous identification and interpretation of works that use sound as their primary medium. This study is pertinent to the performative arts and digital media cultures, as it offers definitions, literature analyses, and concepts that are central to intermedial and interdisciplinary research and practice.
