Virtual BreakOut During the OutBreak Videos [VBODOBV]

During June, four dates, significant in the lives of artists, as well as moments, connected to aurality and/or sound art, have been selected to feature videos, dealing with diverse themes and ideas, by soundpedro2020 artists.

VBODOBV I:

June 11th: Ornette Coleman died at 85, June 11, 2015. He resounded across the discursive terrain of aural art, bending music towards pure sonification, as evidenced by his inclusion in proto and early sound installations, as well as being regarded a forebearer by many sound artists.

The first group of artists, to have been shown in Gallery A: Upstairs.
Through their participation in soundpedro2020schizophonia, these digital artists are perceived and contextualized by the curators as boundary crossing into sound art.

VBODOBV III:

June 20th: Kurt Schwitters was born June 20, 1887. His seminal work, Ursonate, is an extraction of “primordial sound” that breaks down language so as to assemble it anew into self reflexive sound-meanings and voiced irrationalities. Or, as sound artists have since done, vice versa.
