Audiovisual Software Art: A Partial History
by Golan Levin, 9 May 2009
Author's Note: The following article was commissioned for one of approximately 25 chapters on different forms of synaesthetic and audiovisual art for "See This Sound", an encyclopedic catalogue accompanying an exhibition and symposium of the same name at the Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz in late 2009. As this encyclopedia has many chapters by others covering e.g. audiovisual installations, games, performances, films, videos and animations, it should be understood that the scope of my own article is correspondingly limited, and some of my favorite and/or important works are covered elsewhere in the volume.

Digital games are considered for their cybernetic qualities (Aarseth & Calleja, 2015) as objects that can be traversed and reconfigured by means of ergodic effort. (Aarseth, 1997). The intersection of ergodic effor

WOW, a Mailing List
September 2004. My first Ars Electronica. I knew nothing about media art and loved everything i saw there. When i look back i’m a bit less elated, though i still won’t listen to the party poopers whose favourite game is to sneer at what they see in Linz. Each year i feel like a kid in Wonderland at Ars. Anyway, three years after my first ars, i still believe that the Seven Mile Boots are one of the most extraordinary piece of art i’ve ever seen at the festival. This pair of boots allows their wearer to wander through virtual space. When walking, users stroll through the net, when standing still they can listen to several chat rooms simultaneously. They were created by Laura Beloff, Erich Berger and Martin Pichlmair.
A few weeks ago, i was participating to the Mobile Music Workshop together with Martin and lucky me! he agrees to answer a few questions.
Martin Pichlmair is a media artist, practitioner and theorist whose art works have been exhi
