"RORSCHACH AUDIO" lecture / demonstration
(15th public presentation)
Sunday 12 Feb, 2pm, Small Hall
UKISC Sound Practice
Goldsmiths College, London

The subject of research into allegedly supernatural
"Electronic Voice Phenomena" is considered in the
light of both anecdotal reports and formal
experimental studies of related aspects of human
auditory perception. "Rorschach Audio" argues that
credulous interpretations of EVP research (which are
commonplace in contemporary art) are at best examples
of wilful self-delusion, at worst examples of outright
fraud. "Rorschach Audio" offers the primary hypothesis
that an understanding of the relevant aspects of
psychoacoustics provides a complete explanation for
most EVP recordings, and a secondary hypothesis that
an informed understanding of these processes is as
important to understanding the emergent field of sound
art as studies of optical illusions have historically
been to understanding visual art.
