Dana 3. aprila 2025. godine na Fakultetu savremenih umetnosti održana je prva u nizu 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.

Prva radionica nosila je naziv „Zvuk i objekat“ i bila je posvećena istraživanju odnosa između zvučnog izraza i fizičkog oblika umetničkog dela. Uvodni deo radionice obuhvatio je predavanje u kome su učesnici imali priliku da se upoznaju sa pojmom zvučnih skulptura, istorijatom ovog umetničkog pravca i značajem zvuka kao ravnopravnog umetničkog sredstva. Predstavljeni su inspirativni primeri umetničkih radova i konkretne prakse iz ove oblasti, čime su postavljeni temelji za individualni umetnički rad učesnika.

Nakon predavanja, svaki učesnik je imao priliku da predstavi svoju ideju i da, kroz vođenu diskusiju, razvije koncept buduće skulpture. Posebnu pažnju privukla je tema „pakovanja zvuka u objekat“, odnosno način na koji se zvuk može pretočiti u fizičku formu i kako ta forma postaje nosilac značenja koje se otkriva ne samo vizuelno, već i auditivno i taktilno.

U drugom delu radionice, učesnici su započeli realizaciju svojih ideja – oblikovanje skulptura koje će sadržati ili emitovati zvuk, istražujući kako materijali, forme i tehnologija mogu doprineti višesenzornom doživljaju umetničkog dela. Proces je bio duboko interaktivan, sa snažnim naglaskom na saradnju između studenata FSU i slepih i slabovidih učesnika, čime je dodatno ojačana socijalna i umetnička dimenzija celog projekta.

Radionicu su vodili profesor Ivan Bon, priznati umetnik i pedagog, i saradnica u nastavi Milica Stojković, dok su podršku u realizaciji pružili studenti Fakulteta savremenih umetnosti – Nina Bon, koja je dokumentovala ceo događaj kao fotograf, i Milan Kusmuk, koji je bio logistička i tehnička podrška učesnicima.

Ova radionica predstavlja sjajan primer kako umetnost može biti alat za inkluziju, zajedništvo i istraživanje 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.

Naredne radionice projekta „Multisenzorna umetnost“ će takodje biti fokusirane na čula i umetničke forme, a završni rezultati svih radionica biće predstavljeni na zajedničkoj izložbi.

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.
