Abstract
This switch article goes over the use of sound and how some people consider it to be a language, an art, or a form of technology. Lange refers to Agostino Di Scipio’s arguments on how technology was created by humans and therefore should be an art. More specifically, how sound can be an electronic art, especially since it can change or be manipulated just as musical artists create music. Next, she refers to Larry Wendt’s article and how sound composition or poetry is structured. He goes on to explain that sound-text doesn’t have a solid order and is flexible enough to be rearranged in multiple ways, so the form of art is always changing. Lastly, Lange mentions the SoundCulture events that are held in the Bay Area that features contemporary artists who work in sound as an example of what they’re talking about.
