Sight and Sound

This exhibition explores the intersections between what we see and what we hear, and how artists have worked to create modes of translation between the two.

The artworks in this exhibition illustrate how artists have visually represented sound, and the interactive application Painting Music provides the opportunity to have a musical composition created in response to your own drawing.

This exhibition is part of the Art & Science Exhibition Series

Art & Science Exhibition Series

Each academic year, all of the Art Collection’s exhibitions, events and workshops are directly inspired by one of the University research themes.  In 2025-26 our chosen focus Art & Science explores the shared communities of practice between artists and scientific researchers: the human quest for visual understanding.
