Tom Lopez to Give Talk at Cleveland Institute of Art
	back to story		Tom Lopez, Assistant Professor of Computer Music and Digital Arts, will present a lecture on the relationship of sound to image time-based art at the Cleveland Institute of Art on April 4th at 7:30 p.m. In his work, Lopez explores the ability of sound to complement moving images. "The pairing of sound and image is ubiquitous," he says. "Even though sounds often are presented without images, moving images without sound rarely exist. Sound can stand on its own and fill a room because it is three-dimensional. Film and video are typically projected onto two-dimensional surfaces need sound to complete them. Even silent films were accompanied with live music at theaters," says Lopez. This observation leads to the conclusion that "sound is especially unique to humans, probably because of the physicality of soundwaves that actually move our bodies in a way images don’t."
