Abstract
With digital art being pervasive, art, technology, and science
seem to be no longer separable and have been re-integrated. In
fact, art history shows that when combined with them, art could
give birth to a ground-breaking masterpiece. Based on that, we
pose a simple question, “Can we analyze sonification works
from the viewpoint of digital art aesthetics?” As a case study,
we try to place the Accessible Aquarium Project (AAP) at the
intersection of scientific research and art. Relying on term,
“biocybernetics”, we discuss aesthetic meanings of the AAP in
terms of new temporality (dynamicity), transformed
relationships (combined gazes), dialectic improvement of the
original (interactivity), and enacted collective art-work
(embodied cognition). We hope this review will help illuminate
the artistic contribution of interactive sonification and explore
future directions. Further, this work is expected to contribute to
facilitating discussions of aesthetics about the sonification
works in the auditory display community.
