A pioneer in the field of contemporary art and music, Max Neuhaus is credited with being the first artist to use sound as a medium for site-specific installations. His sound installations allow listeners to approach sound as art, in their own time. Testing the idea that our perception of a place depends also on what we hear, Neuhaus extended sound into social spaces to create sites altered by the synthetic, anonymous sounds concealed within them.
