The Blueprint Series

The Blueprint Series presents detailed documentation of works by iii artists. Each booklet is an instruction manual with which you can recreate and discover a different performative sound art work or interactive sound installation. Focusing on the underlying ideas of the work, the Blueprint manuals are useful not only for artists, but also for educators, researchers or for anyone interested in learning more about these works.

The Blueprint Series intends to preserve performative and staged works of sound art. This gives the pieces a firm anchor point in history and opens them up to be studied and reenacted, setting the ideas free to be further developed by a broader community of artists, researchers, curators, conservators and teachers.

About the artist

Cathy van Eck is a composer, sound artist, and researcher in the arts. She is interested in setting her movements, actions and gestures into relationships with a rich palette of different sounds, exploring peculiar sonic sceneries. The result could be called “performative sound art”, since it combines elements from performance art, electronic music, and visual arts. Cathy is a professor at the Academy of the Arts in Bern, Switzerland. Her book Between Air and Electricity – Microphones and Loudspeakers as Musical Instruments has been published in 2017. She is a member of iii (instrument inventors initiative), an artist-run organisation supporting new interdisciplinary practices linking performance, technology and the human senses.
