SOUND in a man-made environment

拟议方案是一个人造环境方案(GR/S83203/01)中现有声音的发展和延伸，其主要特点是一个题为声音的当代艺术展览，旨在提高公众对技术进步如何导致环境中的声音水平增加以及这如何影响我们的日常生活的认识。国家物理实验室将作为合作伙伴加入，并将在技术方面提供建议，以及协助全面管理和评估。展览包括原创绘画和3D音景，并有海报解释基本物理概念以及研究人员解决科学和环境问题的方式。声音已经在英国的五个主要中心展出，即苏格兰议会、动态地球爱丁堡、格拉斯哥科学中心、格拉斯哥当代艺术中心和伦敦大都会大学；不久将在贝尔法斯特的海滨和声波艺术研究中心展出。出席人数已经超过了目标人数的三倍多。在拟议的新方案中，展览将通过增加新的绘画作品和加强音景来进一步发展，以扩大所涉主题的范围和可以展示展览的地点的范围。将在英国和国外寻找新的场地，重点是具有国际意义的大型公共空间，这将吸引媒体报道。已经收到了在班加罗尔市中心著名的Venkatappa画廊和明斯克文化宫展示该展览的确定报价，那里将在国家电视台播出有关该项目的相关节目。南肯辛顿的自然历史博物馆和基尔马诺克的迪克研究所也表达了兴趣。此外，我们计划开发一个缩小版的展览，可以在较小的场地同时展示。例如，已经收到了在利兹的圆形铸造媒体中心和邓迪的Sensation展出的邀约。在展览的同时，还将举行一系列讲座，向公众和学校会议发表演讲，并由Science Fun(爱丁堡大学)和爱丁堡皇家学会协助安排。

The proposed programme is a development and extension of the existing SOUND in a man-made environment programme (GR/S83203/01), whose central feature is a contemporary art exhibition entitled SOUND aimed at promoting public awareness of the way in which technological advance has led to increased sound levels in the environment and how this affects our every-day lives. The National Physical Laboratory will be joining as partners and will advise on technical aspects as well as assisting with overall management and appraisal.The exhibition consists of original paintings and 3D soundscape supported by posters explaining the basic physical concepts and the way in which researchers are addressing the scientific and environmental problems. SOUND has already been shown at five major centres in Britain, namely the Scottish Parliament, Dynamic Earth Edinburgh, Glasgow Science Centre, Centre For Contemporary Arts Glasgow and the London Metropolitan University; it will shortly show at the Waterfront and Sonic Arts Research Centre in Belfast. Attendance has already exceeded the target number by a factor of more than three. In the proposed new programme the exhibition will be further developed by adding new paintings and enhansing the soundscape in order to extend scope of the topics covered and the range of venues where the exhibition can be shown. New venues will be sought both in the UK and abroad with emphasis on large public spaces of international significance which will attract media coverage. Firm offers have already been received to show the exhibition at the prestigeous Venkatappa Gallery in the centre of Bangalore and also at the Palace of Culture in Minsk where there will be an associated programme on national television about the project. Interest has also been expressed by the Natural History Museum in South Kensington and the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock . In addition, we plan to develop a scaled-down version of the exhibition that can be shown simultaneously in smaller venues. For example, offers have already been received to show at the Round Foundry Media Centre in Leeds and Sensation in Dundee.Alongside the exhibitions will be a series of talks to public and school meetings arranged with the assistance of Scifun (Edinburgh University) and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
