  paradise institute by janet cardiff
  
  "The Paradise Institute" blends the realms of sculpture, video, and sound with an understanding of cinematic conventions in order to immerse the viewer in a highly inventive and disorienting multimedia installation that stimulates consciousness and excites sensory experience. By means of an original 13-minute DVD projection with individual stereo headphones that creates a personalized "surround sound" for each member of the audience. "The Paradise Institute" explores the boundaries between reality and fiction. [ref]

  another work i would love to experience, Cardiff's 'Words drawn in water'; a 33-minute multisensory audio walk artwork in which the artist’s layered sound effects merge to evoke a blending of history and memory. [ref]

works that deals with sonor/water in past/present:

• 
  

  by Robert Rauschenberg : Mud Muse (1971)

  the piece consisted of a big aluminum tank of mud-9 x 12 feet-that oozes, plops, bubbles and slaps in response to the sounds of its own earthy noises. [ref]

• there is also gary hill's Mediations [1979-86], a video piece in which a hand is pouring sand over a speaker and the sound of the voice talking is visualised by the sand patterns.

  
• ondulation:

  by Thomas McIntosh : Ondulation is a composition for water, sound and light. [2004]

  this piece was shown at DEAF recently here in rotterdam. it's beautifull.

lastly, the work of alexandre joly, a swiss artist.

  - the influence machine:

  "Tony Oursler's The Influence Machine, installed at Madison Square Park, captured voices and images of ghosts, both contemporary and historical, creating a séance experience that recalled 19th-century sound and light projections." [ref]

• -the summoned voices:

  a project acts as a living memory of people and place. it consists of a series of door installations each with an intercom, sound system and a computer that is networked to a central file and database server. summoned voices acts as an interpreter of sound, a message board and an imprint of a community - a place for expression, reflection and surprise.
