For me the illuminating ideas expressed in this course have been summed up by Ina Blom in her book On the Style Site, Art, Sociality and Media Culture "..the works produce remarkably flexible atmospheres- atmospheres that consist not only that which is heard and seen but of that which is transformed in hearing and seeing." She goes on further to say that 'relational' works offer not an end product of 'images' or 'sound sequences' for consumption, but subjectivity itself. The work pictured above and including an audio sample here
is part of the work Fifteen Sounds of the War on the Poor Vol.04 established by the art collective called Ultra-Red. They are a group of artist / activists striving to achieve aesthetic form out of the organising of activists into strategic actions. This was produced as a freely downloadable CD containing audio tracks produced in response to the invocation What is the sound of the war on the poor?
