Making Sense of Sound

<p>It is interesting how important sound is in our societies, particularly for actors that are involved in and committed to processes of creation and presentation, not only of music but of the performative arts. But how relevant is sound and music to a general audience, or to a specific audience? Why obsess over the fact that sound does not have its own space, that is, that it is not paid sufficient attention in the broadest context of contemporary art or that it does not hold the interest of curators or critics? When does sound become relevant and take shape in the field of art? To which specific needs does it respond? Adopting a point of view that is outside of the music community helps us analyze the issue, what plays out there, and if it is indeed a pseudo-problem, a problem that is inexistent in the eyes of other disciplines.</p>
