A new kind of audience: the citizen of the work. But…What does the “citizen of the work” means?

Abstract

Different artists, musicians, and designers work with sound in the public space to produce different works linked to the enormous palette of effects and topics that cities provide: Max Neuhaus, a pioneer in the field of public sound art, used a wide range of possibilities in the works he installed in several cities. Other artists such as Bernhard Leitner, Georg Klein, or Bill Fontana continue to design public sound art in the streets and spaces of different cities around the world. All of this activity has sparked interest not only in the fields of Art or Music but also in Sociology, Architecture, and Anthropology.
