PRESENTATION: Digital Space #1 - Terre Thaemlitz, Kim Cascone, Julian Baker The Digital Space Programme is an ongoing project that aims to respond to the expectations of artists in the field of digital sound whilst also inspiring others to move into new territory. The first phase of the project culminates in the publication of a double CD+CD Rom package which contains new works by artists from around the world , some of who present their work in this discussion.
The individual commissions within Digital Space are held together by the tension of diversity leaving the question of coherence and commonality open for the listener. The interactive CD ROM represents an opposite movement towards sound from visual art, computer programming and game design. Here the artists are working in an area where sound is suspended awaiting the input and response of the audience. Graphical interfaces provide a means through which to play the sound and present possibilities for controlling and creating sound and music in new ways.
