[ISEA2012] Artist Statement: Alyce Santoro – SONIC FABRIC: THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OF SOUND

Artist Statement

Using high-tech, hand-held recording devices, students from Amy Biehl High School (Albuquerque) take sonic samples from their environment, and analyze and manipulate them to create intricate collages of sound. Teacher Alyce Santoro is an interdisciplinary artist and inventor of Sonic Fabric, a textile woven from 50% polyester thread and 50% audiocassette tape recorded with intricate collages of sound. The students’ sound projects are featured during Intel Education Day, along with a talk and demo by Santoro. Produced in partnership with OFFCenter Community Arts Project.
