Abstract
In this paper we discuss the creation of an international online sound arts performance developed in collaboration between artists in Australia and Japan. The COVID-19 global pandemic has made community activities related to the arts more challenging due to restrictions on personal mobility and international travel. We report on a hybrid workshop approach that combines online and face-to-face interaction, which has enabled sound artists with intellectual disability to participate in activities with international outreach. Specifically, we describe the design and technological implementation of a live performance and an interactive audio-visual artwork that translates audio data to visual effect from an Australian ensemble of sound art musicians with intellectual disability, and a professional Japanese Noh singer and performer. Based on the artists initial reflections in developing the performance we discuss opportunities and advantages of online digital spaces for international collaboration and co-creation in community arts contexts that may be utilised in the future.
