Argument
Since 2011, the Musiconis group has been studying the representation of sound, as a symbol in the visual arts and in its literal depiction in images of vocal, instrumental, and choreographic performance in the Middle Ages.
Over the past three years many scholars have presented their research on this subject; descriptions of these lectures are posted in the Musiconis Blog.
The group’s work began with the indexing of images that are described and analyzed in an iconographic metabase that will continue to grow; this metabase can be consulted along with a general bibliography and a trilingual lexicon.
The group’s activities have focused on the processes of the emission, audition, diffusion, association of sound, as well as on the musical, ontological, esthetic and effective qualities of potentially audible sounds that function as such within iconographic systems.
The Musiconis conference will take into account all types of visual representation that relate to sound, whether figurative, mathematical, graphic, calligraphic, epigraphic, coloristic, ornamental, etc. The conference presentations may address all visual media, from monumental art to objects and manuscript illumination.
