This paper discusses art systems that employ image and sound as equal elements. This can be called the evolution of the “audiovisual discourse ” in art and technology. Recent software for manipulation of audio and visual material is briefly described, and audio/visual digital artworks, developed during an artist-in-residence-based project, are illustrated as examples of contemporary artistic projects concerned with this theme.

Finally, the role of the computer as audio/visual instrument is discussed
