Slavica, The .wav festival sounds interesting. I think that public sites for sound works are not only a valuable contribution to opportunities for artists, but they represent an important step for public art. Sorry for bringing up another abstract issue, but I wonder what people think about harmonic/musical issues in acoustic (non-headphone) installations. Many sound artists are focusing on environmental sounds. Not that harmony is losing its place, but where (if any) is the boundary between a harmonic installation and playing music? Maybe this is too abstract... best Kevin > > Kevin, I think you brought up a good point about the black box/white box > model for displaying sound art. > > In thinking about space and scale, I just wanted to mention the upcoming > .wav festival.
