Sense, and How to Make It: Affect in Art
On the hunt for a lustrous topic for my thesis, I, as everyone else, started out on a large sheet of white paper, trying to pull tenfolds of terms, sentences, and topics that are in any relation to my practice as an artist out of my sleeve. Although this seemed like a fool-proof plan to find a theoretical lid to the pot that is my brain, I ended up with a much too organized collection of quotes and definitions around two major terms: affect and sound.
Chapters: Affect, Sound and Music; Is ‘sound art’ worth a dime?; ‘Sound art’ ≠ (Music|Art); Affect as a medium – Gregor Schneider; Applied affect-theory: Atmospheres as artworks.
