Statement of Intent
Andy Knolle
andyknolle.com
Virginia Commonwealth University’s MFA in Kinetic Imagery is the school I have been
searching for. I have very ambitious ideas and I feel like VCU would be the place to encounter
a greater academic conversation while working to achieve these artistic goals.
I have been studying sound art, printmaking and installations throughout my
undergraduate years at DAAP. I began to work in these mediums specifically for their
connections and metaphors towards philosophy of accepting and defining technology/
technological systems. Sound art theory is no more than a “passing theory”; our sonic
environment is constantly changing, much like our technological environment. This creates a
lack of a priori knowledge in a society almost completely dependent on it, with our obsession of
image. To get to a state of accepting a posteriori knowledge, I would like to create work that
challenges images as a priori knowledge and give the viewer an individual experience and
control over the work, much like any device we would use in day - to - day life.
I would like to further this investigation of sound, image and technology through
experimental, chance and interactive processes as I study at VCU. Currently I am focusing on
the idea of humans as toolmakers through interaction with objects (technology), through our
interaction, and the inevitable outcome of a sonic experience. This interaction is what I am
interested in, the transition of an object (art) as a tool being used into a tool being made. When
this transition of a tool being used to a tool becoming made is when we escape from the a
priori knowledge of the tool (the image of the tool), and transcend into the a posteriori of the
tool (the experience of interacting with the tool), specifically the sonic outcome from the
interaction.

Landscape W/O Reserve
Interactive sound/ video installation
4:30 minutes
2014
Landscape W/O Reserve is a continuation of study in the Heideggarian school of thought
where technology reaches a point of “no reserve” as stated in his essay The Question Concern
Technology, the point we our selves are even disposable material. I made this video and
sound piece to use the sounds of the environment as a disposable material, those making the
viewers as an active reason moving the piece along.
