The Tate Modern has sound art displays.

Contemporary artists who are based in London are using technology and sound in their pieces.

The Tate Modern says that the term Sound Art means “art which uses sound both as its medium and as its subject”.

Sound artists, like Hannah Kemp-Welch, work with local communities in London to create audio artworks.

She delivers workshops in Peckham and calls them “sonic happenings”. She encourages people to talk about their social and political problems.

She is working on a project about sounds in our environment. Hannah records well-known sounds which we hear every day in the city. She includes car horns and ambulance alarms in her work to give people an idea of the streets of London.

Ms Kemp-Welch is also recording drones and the modern technologies that we interact with daily. She uses editing to change and play with the sound of a supermarket checkout.

When working on the sound of the underground announcements, she asks: “Are there enough diverse voices in our everyday lives?”.

Although, Yuri Suzuki is a sound artist who pushes the boundaries of inclusion even further.

He uses artificial intelligence in this piece The Welcome Chorus. In the artwork the viewers voice is recorded by twelve multicoloured horns and is then added to a data bank. Machine learning then creates an artificial version of the viewer’s voice which is played back to them.

He likes to try new ways to challenge the barriers of art and he creates art which uses cutting edge technology. He asks “who owns the art piece? Is it the artist or the audience who have added their own voices?”.

Yuri does not see AI as a invasion of privacy but instead he says that “it is just another method to tell a story”.

He thinks that using sound in art is a good way to invite a more widespread audience to exhibitions. Yuri says that he wants to include “people with dyslexia” so that they can enjoy art and not have to read anything to explain what they are looking at.

It may not be to everyone’s taste but sound is becoming a key part of art today.
