Thoughts on Cardiff and Miller

Cardiff and Miller’s artwork is a unique one, being created by audio, which is new to me and different than the other articles so far. Usually when you think of sound that is art, you think of music, but they are creating realistic 3D landscapes of sound, which is a new idea to me. It’s interesting that along with sound, they make the physical landscape, so they are trying to actually immerse the listener into the environment. It’s also interesting how they bring up the connection of sound to memories and dreams. The second experience of walking in a train station while watching a video of that station from a different time sounds like it would be confusing for the mind and hard to navigate around. Later on, the part about a train pulling into a station on the theater screen causing people to flee made me laugh and shows the power of video and sound.

            I overall liked this whole piece, and the only downside I can think of is maybe having it from the artists’ perspective instead being reported on by the writer, it should bring out even more of their feelings.
