Abstract: An exposition as extensive as Expo 67 provides an opportunity for specialists in diverse fields to observe the state of their respective arts. When the field is one of the audio-visual disciplines, the entire exposition represents a gigantic laboratory of the art of exhibiting per se, and standards are established by which future efforts will be measured. The lion's share of public attention was garnered by novelties of film production and reproduction. To the sound specialist, however, interest was not confined to motion pictures. Almost every area where sound was employed contained some innovation or noteworthy application of established techniques. This report is based on a visit during the Exposition's fifth month of operation. Of necessity, coverage could only be representative, at best. Inclusion or omission of pavilions or individual presentations in no way is meant to imply criticism. The purpose of the following observations and comments—mainly but not exclusively concerned with sound—is an examination of (1) where and (2) under what conditions audiences received their mass age massage, (3) the auditory means employed to this end, and (4) how elements of sound functioned; in brief: (1) architecture, (2) reception, (3) means and (4) function.
