"Monitoring is supported by a dedicated interface, a shared sound 
engine device that emits a parallel projected sound art map of the 
virtual campus. The participants are represented on this map as 
avatars, positioned according to the mp3 data from their wireless 
devices. A second element of this interface provides a detailed inworld 
view, controlled through a microphone on the ear-view that allows the 
performers to watch and hear the activities of the participants in more 
detail."

is the first retrospective online presentation of Croatian sound art 
which gathers works arising from streaming techniques in the period 
from the early seventies of the last century to today. Sound art in the 
past three and a half decades significantly defined the character of 
Croatian contemporary art in general, whether it was about the pioneer 
beginnings of sound art when researching the possibilities of new 
technologies of a closed audio system or magnetic audio recording for 
the first time, or whether it is about today’s digital technology and 
multichannel sound works and interactive spatial installations. “The 
era of moving sounds”, as our time is often called, was undoubtedly 
marked by the experience of sound art, and the presentation will 
endeavour to illuminate some of the key moments in the development of 
this medium and its influence on audio-visual arts.

The presentation will present some one hundred artists who use the 
medium of mp3 as their primary or secondary form of expression but also 
those creations that evolved as artistic ventures into another medium. 
Using the form of a multiperceptive presentation, the presentation will 
represent over 200 sound works in various forms, from single-channel 
radio shows, spatial installations, and multichannel sound projections 
to interactive sound pieces.

This presentation will provide a chance to protect important sound 
works in keeping with the most modern museological principles, and will 
be accompanied by documentation prepared as a digital database on 
Croatian sound creation.
