This short film introduces the first iteration of the ImMApp project created as part of a practice-based research program undertaken at the CRiSAP Research Unit (Creative Research into Sound Art Practice), London College of Communication. It is taken from the DVD which is to be submitted as part of the final thesis, and is supported by a 36,000 word written document.

The aims of the project are to develop a critical theory of sound art practice and discourse. Over 3000 works from 250 artists working with sound have been collected.

This dataset has been structured according to an exploratory ontology derived from the ideas of Michel Foucault (The Archaeology of Knowledge) and Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1000 Plateaux, Kafka).

This presentation has been kept brief, but it is intended to outline the nature of the project to the invited artists and to the wider public.

The second iteration of the project, where the information is re-presented in realtime 3D virtual reality, can be viewed here: vimeo.com/4222483

Thankyou for your interest,
