How do sound and visual elements work within an art installation? How does a panoramic art installation address issues of sound and vision? Does sound change the static nature of painting? How does a physical manifestation of ideas relating to sound and vision affect the theoretical ideas?
The paper discusses the research outcomes in terms of practical outputs and exhibitions. It investigates painting in the context of a sound environment. In detail it describes and evaluates some of the elements of the exhibition 'Zvuk', Palace of the Republic, Minsk, Belarus 2008 in relation to past exhibitions including 'Sonitus', Ventakappa Gallery, Bangalore, India 2008 and 'Marking the Terrain', Glasgow School of Art, UK 2008. It investigates the role of the panorama, the time element within painting and how time and space relate in the context of a painting and sound exhibition.

'Zvuk and Colour', incorporating large parts of this paper have been given at Edinburgh Colour conference, Colour in Art, Design and Nature, at James Clerk Maxwell Science Centre 24 Oct 2008 as well as at The Academy of Sciences, Minsk 2008. This research has led to further investigation of the panoramic painting within sound installations and how the fundamentals of sound and vision relate through EPSRC funded 'Sound in the man made environment' as well as through the 'Non-Bio Boom' Research Thematic, Inspace, Edinburgh UK 2010 which included exhibitions 'Autorama' and 'Panechoic' as well as a number of public talks and events. Other exhibitions which have developed as a result of this research are 'Dead or Alive', National Physical Laboratory, London UK 2009 and 'Panorama', British High Commission, New Delhi India 2010.
