Sunday, 25.02.2007, Open Graphic Studio, Museum of the city of Skopje, Skopje, Macedonia

This series of lectures follow the path of history of music, reaching contemporary lack of boundaries between sound art and music. It is mainly a workshop about sound and how sound can be used as an artistic medium not only in music but also in contemporary art. Lectures will involve the students to reflect on the meaning of sounds and their possible uses. Starting from basics of psychoacoustics and wave theory, the lectures will follow two parallel paths: path of technology and the artistic path. Through various listening they will see – or actually “hear” – how technology have changed the way we are approaching sound, but also how artists have managed to revolutionize sound even more than technology. This is second workshop from the workshop series project Consumer vs. User.
