This audiovisual festival brings together international artists and experts exploring the relationship between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves.
To celebrate the publication of the new book on sonic creativity “Art of Sound: Creativity in Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music” and the launch of our new creative practice research facilities the “Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies” this 2023 edition of the festival celebrates works responding to the theme “Creativity Shared”.
From over 340 submissions, SOUND/IMAGE Research Centre have curated a rich programme of complementary talks, screenings, loudspeaker orchestra concerts, and performances – bringing together composers, filmmakers, electronic musicians, live visual performers, researchers from all over the world to stimulate discussion, debate and engage diverse perspectives and new insights on sound and audiovisual practice.
Guests artists are for this edition of the festival are Electroacoustic Composer John Young, and Jorge Lopes Ramos who will be offering an inaugural lecture on ‘Serious Play’, expanding on twenty-five years of research in immersive, participatory and interactive theatre, which will kick-start the festival.
The festival will make use of the brand-new SHIFT facilities, with the acousmatic concerts taking place in the new ‘Digital Immersive Theatre’ and live performances will take place in our new Virtual Production Film Studio with a 6×3 meter ultra-high definition LED wall.
SOUND/IMAGE 2023 Festival will also launch the SOUND/IMAGE 2023 Exhibition at 6.30pm on Saturday 11 November, and will remain open until Friday 15 December in the Stephen Lawrence Gallery.
Prof. Andrew Knight-Hill (SOUND/IMAGE Research Centre Lead) comments,
“This year’s event, across four days, is the most ambitious festival yet, a rich programme made necessary by the quality and volume of engagement from international artist researchers coming together to explore relationships between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves.
With over 340 submissions from across the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Cameroon, South Korea, Japan, Australia, India, Russia, Cyprus, Turkey, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil, Argentina & Chile, this event reflects both the global scope of interest in this field of research and the international network of scholarship which we are excited to facilitate at the University of Greenwich.
We look forward to seeing and hearing from you over the four days of the event and welcoming you into the network of our wider collaborative research community.”
