Contemporary art is technically and mass reproducible . It applies to sound art as well: the era of mass sound recording has put an end to the uniqueness of concert performance.
The means of technical reproduction of a unique art object dramatically affected the concept of authenticity and originality . The art becomes the art for everybody. As Jean Baudrillard put it: “Stop saying art is too expensive. Stop saying it is not for me…”
Convergence of art, science and technology has questioned the notion of how art is created and what are its object and functions in the society .
In the art of the technicized modernity quantity transmutated into quality: dramatically increased number of participants changed the mode of participation .
Information-computer technology development has allowed to generate new electronic sounds and to transform existing natural and artificial sounds. It led to the situation in which music is replaced by sound art. In sound art music is perceived as a sound object that can be worked on: sound is converged, cut, copied, compiled, and connected (5C-sound).
