Originally, I planned my dissertation topic to be: “The impact of emotional trauma on the creativity of sound artists and its self-healing mechanism in art creation”, but I found that this is a very big topic, and it is very difficult to structure it on the basis of psychology, and there are fewer cases of works of sound artists that are related to emotional trauma. Besides, there are fewer cases of sound artists’ works related to emotional trauma and traumatization, this topic is more suitable to be changed to “The impact of emotional trauma on artists’ creativity and its self-healing mechanism in art creation”, so I decided to change my topic.
Finally, my topic was “Exploring the role and influence of sound art in modern art”. I think that sound art is a relatively new category of art, which is not quite the same as other arts, but seems to be limited and suppressed by the visual, but in recent years, sound art has been gradually developing, and more and more sound artists and exhibitions have emerged, which is a very important issue in my work. In my hometown of Beijing, China, there is even a new sound art museum, so I would like to explore the history and development of sound art, the diverse roles of sound art in contemporary art and its impact on the audience.
