Abstract: Although there have been entire books, numerous journal issues, and countless articles written about sound art, it remains difficult to agree on a single definition. It is worth initially evoking the idea of a publicly visited artwork; it may help to consider the art gallery setting as one common option, where an artist presents an installation work with a significant sound-based element, awaiting visitors to experience it. Yet we shall see a diversity of practices herein beyond this starting point. For the purposes of this chapter, pieces “performed” from beginning to end with an expectation that the audience remain in the space will be generally exempt from the term, as evoking too strongly the art or rock music concert setting.
