This article looks at the emergence of physical material in a growing number of contemporary sound-based art practices. From academic symposia to music festivals and media art exhibitions, the material presence of physical artefacts is notable in a variety of sound-based disciplines and scenarios. Considering the significance of the visual aspect of these works, this article proposes a reassessment of what audiovisual entails. I argue that our understanding of audiovisual status needs to be expanded beyond the scope of screen-based applications and move into the physical realm of objects and material. Further to this, I outline how the dominant discussions around materiality in sound-based art do not speak sufficiently to the physical materiality manifested in a growing wave within the field. Using an example of my own creative work, I will then suggest audiovisual materialism as an alternative lens through which such practices can be better examined, understood and built upon.

视听唯物主义

本文着眼于越来越多的当代基于声音的艺术实践中物理材料的出现。从学术座谈会到音乐节和媒体艺术展览，实物人工制品的物质存在在各种基于声音的学科和场景中都引人注目。考虑到这些作品视觉方面的重要性，本文提出重新评估视听需要。我认为，我们对视听状态的理解需要超越基于屏幕的应用范围，进入物体和材料的物理领域。除此之外，我概述了围绕声音艺术中物质性的主要讨论如何没有充分说明该领域内不断增长的浪潮中表现出的物理物质性。以我自己的创意作品为例，然后我会建议视听唯物主义作为一个替代镜头，通过它可以更好地检查、理解和建立这些实践。
