Abstract
The non-narrative audiovisual is an art form which doesn’t tell a story, and conveys ideas by sound and images simultaneously. The non-narrative audiovisual is an artistic audiovisual experiment beyond the function of narration. In the history of art and music, it has been leaving traces on the color keyboard, abstract animation, video art, analog computer animation and digital art. Without the constraint of narration, the non-narrative audiovisual has more possibilities for its design, and is more capable of exciting the senses. However, the development of the non-narrative audiovisual study is not as long and buoyant as the narrative audiovisual study. Unlike the narrative audiovisual study, which is supported by abundant systematical literatures, such as the books written by Michel Chion and Nicolas Cook, the non-narrative audiovisual study is comprised mainly of short and dispersed journal articles. Moreover, in the narrative audiovisual study, the issues of the historical survey and the analysis method have yet to be fully explored. What are the traits of the non-narrative audiovisual forming during its development? What is the analysis method could we employ to reveal these traits? In this paper, I suggest there are three traits of the non-narrative audiovisual, and discuss these traits through reviewing the historical literature about the non-narrative audiovisual. On the other hand, by analyzing Ryoichi Kurokawa’s Rheo: 5 Horizons, I seek to shed light on the internal structure of the non-narrative audiovisual, and reveal the traits hidden within this structure.
