This exhibition is presenting an aspect of the PhD practice based on the research question how do sound and space cohere? an investigation of 3D sound spatialisation through virtual and physical environments. Through this line of enquiry the work is exploring spatial composition and the visualisation of sound within the exhibition space, and possible modes of reverse engineering through the use of sound in the construction and formation of space.

Sarah Dunne is a visual artist and musician based in Dublin. She completed her BA at Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork in 2006 and her MA at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton in 2007. Her MA practice was concerned with the role of sound and vibration in generating spatial ‘presence’ and how a sculptural object can be altered by sound. She is currently undertaking a PhD in the sculpture department in National College of Art and Design.

"Sound sculpture" is an audio-visual, time dependant art form. It crosses the boundaries of fine art and musical art, challenging traditional notions of sculpture and sound, and amalgamating them in new ways. (Brandt, 2001, p.12)

With a background in music, Sarah Dunne’s studio-based work has been continuously questioning the relationship of sound to the object; and the spatial experience of sound. While art and music have closely coincided for centuries, the boundaries between these fields are becoming increasingly ambiguous. Sarah’s research aims to explore ‘sound space’ utilizing both theoretical and practice-based research processes. It will also draw upon aspects of the disciplines of architecture and of spatial culture (Lefebvre).
