Audiovisualogy

Audiovisualogy is the study of audiovisual media, including cinema, television or other visual art forms. The etymological meaning of the word "audiovisualogy" is linked, on the one hand, with audiovisual, the means jointly related to the view and the hearing and, on the other hand, to the suffix logy (after logos), which in Greek means treaty, knowledge.

It is also feasible to understand it as the means and art that combine fixed projected images (slides or digital support) in its montage, accompanied by sounds of a different nature, therefore meaning a language different from the film, since it does not use the image in motion.

Although it was known in France as diaporama (slideshow) in 1950, its current name of audiovisual art is truly accepted in many fields, such as in some institutions in the United Kingdom, like photo clubs and others with a high artistic level, as the Royal Photography Society, among others.

From this perspective, it is also possible to develop a theory about the audiovisual art, thus defining it as the language that combines still images (pictures with sound), in a montage that by its condition is displayed as in the cinema, in a room designed for that purpose.
