About
On 20th April 1914, immediately before the outbreak of the First World War, Futurist artist Luigi Russolothe, premiered a performance of a revolutionary noise symphony Awakening of a City. Almost a century later, a group of artists, led by Brighton-based Sound Artist, Joseph Young, have come together to respond to the surviving 7 bars of the printed score in a series of ReAwakenings.
In his latest solo work, The End of Listening (ReAwakening of a City #5), Joseph has created an immersive sound installation for iPods at a&e Gallery.
âMy practice explores the role of noise in the built environment; I am particularly interested in how to make use of those visual and aural signals that we normally block out or ignore. The end result might be a sound installation, a composition, soundtrack, performance or public intervention. In this, my primary influence has been the Futurist Art of Noises manifesto (1913) and the Situationist dérive.'
