Bringing together a diverse array of international experts and practitioners, this book reflects the ideas, and approaches surrounding contemporary audiovisual practice. Engaging with both traditional and new media formats, each chapter explores a facet of audiovisual art. From Narrative Film to Visual Music, to Live VJ Performances and VR, to Immersive Audiovisual Installations and Theatre these interdisciplinary perspectives provide a rich insight into the current state of the art and its critical context.
This book seeks to, disseminate more widely the research presented at the SOUND/IMAGE conferences, which bring together creative practice with theoretical study. Chapters will outline contemporary research strands reflecting a synthesis of both practice and theoretical research within an international and interdisciplinary context. Delegates from previous events have come from across Europe and the US, and it is anticipated that the contributions for this volume will be just as diverse and engaging.
