Aiming at synthesising his fields of knowledge, Asher’s research project titled ‘Visual Music Strategies and the Sense of Place’ deals with issues regarding synergetic interrelations between image and music and the notion of ‘place’ with a particular focus on the experience-interpretation continuum manifested by orientation through spatial-visual-sonic artefacts.
