| Summary: | The goal of this article is to show that the recent tradition of the so-called “sound art” plays an important role in making explicit through artistic practice different accounts of the ontology of the sound and the phenomenology of sound listening. The philosophical reflection on the nature of sound is rich in alternatives and contrasting theoretical positions about what is a sound, its quality, whether it is an object or an event, his relationship with the listener, its aesthetic function and so on. According to the authors, different models represent different ways of focusing on the same phenomenon. These models are related to the aesthetics of sound art, which developed also as a practical exploration around the nature of sound and its relationship with the listener. Sound artists manipulates the sensory experience of sound, bringing out its hidden aspects and restructuring the way we perceive it, and how sound directs and focuses the attention of the spectator. In this sense, we could see sound art as a form of artistic “laboratory” that runs parallel to the classic philosophical debate on the nature of sound. |
