Relationship between painting and sound art in a state of emotion
Main Article Content
Abstract
“Mood of Moment of Time” investigates the relationship between seeing and hearing, grounded in childhood experiences within a military household that emphasized discipline, responsibility, and continuous exposure to sonic environments shaped by tools, weapons, intelligence work, and civic events. The project develops a mixed-media practice combining painting and sound art. Its objectives are: (1) to translate abstract affective states into clearly perceivable forms through the conjunction of sound and painting; and (2) to create a multisensory “shared perceptual field” that allows viewers to access memory and feeling without relying on discursive interpretation. Methodologically, the work adopts practice-based artistic research, coupling vibro-acoustic signal capture and sound processing with action-based painting, followed by qualitative collection of audience responses. Findings indicate that linking sound and painting in a decentered configuration opens embodied aesthetic experience and re-actualizes fragments of memory as events of co-perception rather than messages to be explained. The project proposes a compositional framework in which sound, painting, and affect co-exist and operate together as objects of perception, extending the ways paintings may be read through listening and sounds may be read through looking.
