Dana 3. aprila 2025. godine na Fakultetu savremenih umetnosti održana je  prva od četiri radionice u okviru regionalnog projekta „Multisenzorna umetnost“ (Multisensory Art). Ovaj projekat ima za cilj da kroz umetnički izraz poveže različite senzorne doživljaje i omogući inkluzivno stvaralačko iskustvo, sa posebnim akcentom na osobe sa oštećenim vidom. Tema radionice bila je „Zvuk i objekat”.

Prvo je održano uvodno predavanje gde je učesnicima ukratko predstavljena umetnost zvuka i zvučne sculpture, predstavljeni su i inspirativni primeri umetničkih radova i konkretne prakse iz ove oblasti, čime su postavljeni temelji za individualni umetnički rad učesnika. Ono što je slepim i slabovidim  učesnicima bilo veoma interesantno jeste zvučna skulptura kao multimedialno delo koje  mogu percipirati i auditivno i taktilno. Nakon prvog dela, svako od učesnika izneo je svoju ideju i obavljen je konstruktivan razgovor koji je za cilj imao razradu koncepta njihovog umetničkog dela. Ideja je bila da se kreira neka vrsta zvučnog rada od zvuka koji je njima lično važan, tj. da se realizuje zvučna priča sastavljena od više zvukova. Učesnici su upoznati sa programom “Audacity”,  kao i nekoliko vrsta mikrofona i zvučnih snimača. Takođe i načinom snimanja i obrade zvuka. Krajnji cilj je bio da se finalni zvuk svakog učesnika emituje iz zvučnih kutija ili skulptura koje će nastati kasnije tokom radionice i biti izložene na grupnoj izložbi ovog projekta. 

Datuma 08.05.2025. smo se ponovo okupili kada je održan drugi deo, prve od četiri radionice. Tada smo sve usnimljene zvukove montirali i pravili zvučne priče. Učesnici su priveli kraju svoje radove, budući da je obrada i montaža zvuka zahtevala više vremena i pažnje.

Radionicu je vodio docent vajarstva Ivan Bon uz veliku pomoć saradnice u nastavi Milice Stojković, dok su podršku u realizaciji pružili studenti Fakulteta savremenih umetnosti – Nina Bon, koja je bila zadužena za fotografiju i video, i Milan Kusmuk, koji je bio logistička i tehnička podrška učesnicima. 

Učesnici radionice su bili slepe i slabovide osobe kao i studenti FSU sa smera vizuelnih umetnosti i smera muzičkih komunikacija. Studenti muzičkih komunikacija su posebno pomogli u prezentaciji različitih tipova mikrofona i audio snimača.

Ova radionica predstavlja sjajan primer kako umetnost može biti alat za inkluziju, zajedništvo i proučavanje novih oblika izražavanja. Učesnici su pokazali izuzetnu kreativnost, posvećenost i otvorenost ka eksperimentisanju, a radna atmosfera bila je ispunjena entuzijazmom, razmenom ideja i stvaralačkom energijom.

Fakultet savremenih umetnosti ponosno podržava ovakve inicijative koje neguju interdisciplinarni pristup, povezuju umetnost i tehnologiju i stvaraju prostor u kome je umetnost dostupna svima – bez ograničenja.

First Workshop of the Regional Project “Multisensory Art” Held at FSU:

Sound and Object – April 3 and May 8, 2025

On April 3, 2025, the Faculty of Contemporary Arts hosted the first of four workshops as part of the regional project “Multisensory Art.” This project aims to connect different sensory experiences through artistic expression and to provide an inclusive creative environment, with a special focus on people with visual impairments.

The theme of the workshop was “Sound and Object.” It began with an introductory lecture that briefly presented the art of sound and sound sculpture to the participants. Inspirational examples of artworks and practical applications in this field were also introduced, laying the foundation for the participants’ individual artistic work.

What was especially interesting to the blind and visually impaired participants was the concept of sound sculpture as a multimedia artwork that could be perceived both auditorily and tactilely. Following the first segment, each participant presented their idea, followed by a constructive discussion focused on developing the concept for their artwork.

The goal was to create a type of sound piece using personally meaningful sounds — essentially, to craft an audio story composed of several layers of sound. Participants were introduced to the “Audacity” software, various types of microphones and sound recorders, as well as methods for recording and editing audio. The ultimate goal was for each participant’s final sound piece to be played through sound boxes or sculptures created later in the project and exhibited at the group exhibition.

On May 8, 2025, we gathered again for the second part of the first workshop. During this session, all recorded sounds were edited and turned into complete sound stories. Participants finalized their works, as sound editing and mixing required additional time and attention.

The workshop was led by sculpture professor Ivan Bon, with great support from teaching associate Milica Stojković. Valuable assistance was also provided by students from the Faculty of Contemporary Arts — Nina Bon, who was responsible for photography and video, and Milan Kusmuk, who offered logistical and technical support to the participants.

Workshop participants included blind and visually impaired individuals, as well as students from FSU Visual Arts and Music Communications departments. Music Communications students were particularly helpful in demonstrating different types of microphones and audio recorders.

This workshop serves as a powerful example of how art can be a tool for inclusion, collaboration, and the exploration of new forms of expression. Participants demonstrated exceptional creativity, dedication, and a willingness to experiment. The working atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm, the exchange of ideas, and creative energy.

The Faculty of Contemporary Arts proudly supports such initiatives that foster an interdisciplinary approach, connect art and technology, and create a space where art is accessible to everyone — without limitations.
