"I made a lot of different experiments with tapes at that time, until I finally realized around 1995, that sound is an interesting subject for me. Ever since then sound got more and more integrated into my art works, musically as well as physically."

"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

Art

Alva Noto
"When I define polarities in my work, I actually create the space between things. I point to the question I am actually interested in, without naming it."

Work

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"It is important for me that a certain depth and variety of both exist next to each other. I am very careful not to sacrifice the one for the other."

Sacrifice

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"You cannot always make such big exhibitions, because they consume too much time and energy."

Time

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"I usually create sounds and have different generators running over it. You know you can open a word-file as a picture or the other way round. I do the same with sounds."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"The subject of my work has a lot to do with general, artistic matters, questions like: What is creativity? Where do we come from? What are our motors? What is coincidence? What is logic?"

Work

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"I try to keep a balance between conceptional or intellectual comprehension and emotional understanding."

Balance

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"One often thinks that using 2 different things like visual and sound lead to 2 different conclusions - to a different content - but in in my case it is all one."

Content

Quote_1.png
Alva Noto
"I always try hard to arrange all media in a way so that it expresses what I want - this is not limited to one medium alone and varies from case to case."

Media

Alva Noto
"Starting off, all options are always open, but as soon as you choose something, you inevitably limit yourself. If you go for B, A is out."
