The dominance of the visual in media art has broken down. Finally, technical and creative requirements are given for an equal presentation of both sound and image, in spatial installations as well as live-performances. Conceptually, it remains difficult to pinpoint the respective meaning of the aesthetic means in terms like audio-visual art, optophonetics or live cinema, one or the other tends to always stand in the foreground. The panel 'Sound Art Visual' questions the latitude and boundaries of various means of artistic expression such as video images, sound, architecture or performance. It is concerned with the convergence and divergence of a digital aesthetic and with the interfaces of current media art. The event is part of the Live Cinema programme series in which the transmediale and the club trans- mediale 2005 jointly organise performances, workshops and discussions.
