Abstract

GEO-SONIC (1988) is an artwork for computer that explores sound, language and geographics. It is a collage of sounds, speech and calligraphy from around the world that leads the participant in associative global dreams and journeys. Sounds sampled by the artists are digitized and played back, juxtaposed with on-screen visual imagery (by use of a track-ball activated cursor). Visual elements include calligraphy from written language around the world and digitized historical and contemporary maps. GEO-SONIC equates geographic place with sound, language and symbols, and explores the relationship of sounds and visual symbols with people. It includes Aeolian pigeons from Bali (flutes attached to birds), the Brooklyn Bridge (before it was paved over), donkey caravans from Nepal, New York City fire sirens, Minnesota prairie tornado sirens, Thailand tribeswomen calling pigs, Indonesian frogs and Venice church bells.
