- This edited volume is an output of the SOUND/IMAGE project, a five year initiative to challenge sometimes siloed arts and media disciplines, by implementing an interdisciplinary ethos, bringing together artists and scholars from a wide range of parallel disciplines – music, sound, video art, experimental film, dance and media/digital arts – to share research and contemporary practice, across and beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. The curatorial heart of the project is bifold. Firstly, the expansion and validation of practice research methods and approaches within sound and image research. And secondly, to collide contiguous artistic practices which would otherwise remain distinct in traditional academic categories. Too often there can be a void between the understandings of practice (researchers engaging in a material way with audiovisual artefacts) and theory (those who engage on a purely scholarly level in analysis and critique of works). The SOUND/IMAGE project champions what Tim Ingold describes as ‘knowing through practice’, to develop and promote perspectives from practitioners, which make new cases for understanding the audiovisual, challenging the ideas of pure scholars whose perspectives seek instead to ‘know about’ (Ingold 2012). In bringing together researchers engaged across contiguous disciplines, the project has been able to stimulate new understandings of the audiovisual via interdisciplinary exchange. The book engages ideas across film theory, music, critical theory, dance, immersive media, analogue tools, acting to informing novel perspectives and ideas, leading to new knowledge and creative expressions. This volume is a testament to the success of this project, each chapter was seeded and developed within the SOUND/IMAGE context and this book has swiftly become a core reference text for all those engaging with audiovisual research. Since its release in June 2020, this volume can already be found within over 178 global reference libraries across Australia, Singapore, Nigeria, UAE, USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe.
