As we are looking to produce sound art, we researched the history of what sound art is and how it began. We found that it dates back to Luigi Russolo, who is a futurist, who built noise machines that replicated the clatter of the industrial age and booms of warfare. We also found out that since the introduction of digital technology, sound art has evolved and undergone many changes. Artists can now use visual aids in response to sounds, allow the audience to control the art through sensors, voice activation, pressure pads and many different imaginative ways.
