Sound Art
Sound art is a form of artistic expression where sound serves as the central medium and material.
In sound art, anything that makes noise can be part of an artwork. The pitter-patter of rain, spoken word poetry, silence itself, and even contemporary uses of ASMR can all qualify as sonic art.
Sound art is more of an aural experience than visual art, but visual elements can coexist with sound. For example, composer John Cage and Dada artist Marcel Duchamp collaborated on Reunion (1968), a concert in which Cage and Duchamp played a chess game where moves triggered Aleatoric music via photoelectric cells under the chessboard.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is a set number of similar or identical artworks. The size of the edition denotes the total number of artworks that will ever be made, underscoring their value.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. Our standard glazing offer is a minimum 90% UV acrylic plexiglass, or you can upgrade to an anti reflective Optium museum plexiglass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Every artwork is signed or stamped, and individually numbered. You will also receive a stamped and numbered certificate of authenticity.
No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.
All the ins and outs can be found on our orders and shipping page.
