Perceptual artifact meaning4/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Ikeda constructs immersive environments of auditory display within museum space and the urban stage of the city. Hyperminimalist work by composer Ryoji Ikeda provides a case study for art practices that disseminate popular notions of glitch through audiovisual information display. A critical archeology of methods of transmission, sonification, and audiovisual art provide a historical framework expanding both design and curatorial practice. By making noise legible this thesis constructs an aural ecology for expanding semantic and aesthetic discourse within the International Community for Auditory Display. White noise is seemingly the most unique sound in its complete variety, but to human ears its nuance is imperceivable. A perceptual hiccup may just as easily be the artifact of computational error or compression as a demarcation of individual thresholds for detecting difference. ![]() Glitch refers to an unpredictable error, but it has become increasingly unclear if it occurs due to external systematic breakdown or internal sensory capacities. Operating on the outer thresholds of perception and calculation, the efficacy of these intermodal strategies are contextualized by concepts of noise found in the aesthetic discourse of ‘glitch’. These artistic processes offer hybrid communicative capacities through their interfaces, which span built and virtual environments. New notions of transmission, translation, and fidelity are found at the intersection of computer music and information display. Aural systems, built upon structures in psychoacoustics, provide a set of practical and conceptual tools that inform our sonic imaginary. Capital Artifacts: Critical Structures of AuralizationĪuralization connotes the imagining of an aural event, distinct from sonification, which is a method of representing information via the mapping of datum to a composition of audible signifiers. ![]()
