Sound as a public art form

Sound as a public art form involves using audio elements—such as music, spoken word, or environmental sounds—to enhance or transform public spaces. Artists incorporate sound installations, outdoor performances, or interactive auditory experiences to engage communities, evoke emotions, and stimulate reflection. By integrating sound into urban environments, public art becomes immersive, accessible, and dynamic, encouraging viewers to experience their surroundings in new ways. This approach fosters cultural dialogue, connectivity, and a shared sense of place through the power of listening and sonic exploration.
