ISSTC 2013: Transmission Drift
The Irish Sound, Science and Technology Association (ISSTA) announces a Call
for Submissions for its third annual Convocation. The four categories includes
Musical Works, Sound Art/Installations, Papers/Posters and Workshops.
Transmissions enable us to experience ideas, energy, data, sounds, events and
art from distant and long ago places. In negating temporal and physical
boundaries, transmissions sustain traditions between generations and broadcast
across borders.
The act of transmission is simultaneously cultural, technological and
political, but it is never simple, because transmission requires both senders
and receivers, and meanings frequently drift between the two. Messages are
distorted, drowned in noise, re-discovered and interpreted, censured, forgotten
and forbidden.
Mediated and buffeted by the motions of fashion, genre, bandwidth and fidelity,
electromagnetic transmissions are an ever-increasing constant. Electromagnetic
frequency bands can be commercialised, purchased and sold, making the content
of broadcasts answerable to financial enterprise.
How, as artists, composers, writers and scientists of sound, might we engage
with the concept of transmission?
