The SITE and SOUND exhibition was designed as an 'audio grove' in which recorded landscapes from around the world were recreated within the gallery environment. The complex speaker system was housed in a 'forest' of three-dimensional structures that employed the archetypal geometries found in the nature and echoed them with the geometries of sound based cymatic patterns.
The exhibition explored sound as a spatial medium within the gallery environment. While more traditional art experiences privilege visual information, contemporary sonic artists use sound to create, disrupt and augment immersive environments. Drawn primarily from RMIT’s unique and extensive sonic art collection the works in the exhibition addressed the conceptual and material relationship between culture and nature.
