Topic Description
This workshop explores the broad and interdisciplinary field of sound and music from the perspective of sustainability. It examines the technologies of sound and music design, creation and production along with cultural and critical issues of sound, listening, and music related to the topic of sustainability. The technologies covered in the workshop include sound editing, analysis, synthesis, sound/music composition and its integration in an audiovisual work. Students will become familiar with methods, software and procedures for work with sound and music at a professional level. As cultural systems, sound and music addresses distinct aspects of sustainability such as human, social, economic and environmental. Technology propelled convergences of sound, image, space, and performance to create new architectures of collaboration giving rise to new kinds of transnational dialogues. In a society inhabited with myriad trivial objects and gadgets of audiovisual technology taking a hold on our existence, we have become saturated by the torrent of audiovisual impressions and the flood of information that can lead to a state of entropy. Therefore, we will encourage students to create works that develop a critical reflection on audiovisual communication, a comprehensive account of the relation between sound , music, and image beyond the conventional forms of art and design. Sustainability requires deconstructing the hegemonic discourses and exploring the diversity of forms of sound, music and audiovisual composition in order to enhance well-being.
Output results
Each student will compose and produce an audiovisual work that develop a critical reflection on audiovisual communication, a comprehensive account of the relation between sound, music and image that addresses specific issues of sustainability.

工作坊课题说明
工作坊从可持续性的角度在宏观上和跨角度的领域探索声音和音乐。它聚焦于声音和音乐设计、创作和制作的技术，以及与可持续性主题相关的声音、聆听和音乐的文化和关键议题。工作坊涵盖的技术包括声音编辑、分析、合成、声音和音乐创作及其在视听作品中的整合。学员将熟练掌握专业声音和音乐的处理方法、软件和程序。在文化系统中，声音和音乐涉及可持续性的不同方面，例如人类、社会、经济和环境。技术推动了声音、图像、空间和表演的融合，创造了新的合作架构，从而产生了新型的对话。在一个充斥着无数微不足道的事物和视听技术工具的社会中，我们已经被视听印象的洪流和可能导致熵状态的信息洪流所淹没。因此，我们鼓励学生创作出对视听传播带有批判性和反思性的作品，全面阐述声音、音乐和图像之间的关系，超越传统的艺术和设计形式。可持续性需要解构霸权话语，探索声音、音乐和视听作品形式的多样性，以提升幸福感。
产出结果
每位学员将完成一部视听作品，在创作过程中建立起对视觉和听觉融合的艺术表达能力和观点。充分理解声音、音乐和画面之间的关系，并以这些不同媒介的融合表现某种可持续性目标的观点。
