I think the best way of dealing with ocularcentrism is perhaps to understand that ocularcentrism has some valid points. Also to consider whether it is a negative thing or positive? Or if that even matters in this sense. To understand how ocularcentrism affects our other senses and the reflection society takes from this being a thing in western society.
I do believe understanding is the first step towards losing a drilled belief. I find that we do live in a very visual society, where clothing and other things can showcase higher superiority and wealth status. I think creating pieces of work that showcase the powerful sense that is sound can allow ocularcentrism to not be a thing happening in our society.
If there were equal festivals, to celebrate sound pieces. If the sound was as recognised as the other medium when collaboration occurs. If film directors were as well respected as sound directors. Then perhaps others would agree with why ocularcentrism is a negative thing.
I do find that it’s also the modern society we live in that makes us this way, and our evolution. At least in my opinion other animals that have weaker vision have increased audible senses. For example dogs and other animals. The need for hearing and smell is more important than a vision for them. I believe it’s similar for humans, we have a limited spectrum of 20hz – 20khz that we can listen to for a reason. We have evolved to only need these. You also do find that the music industry values the artist’s looks and aesthetic as more important than the music. More is spent on jewellery and expensive clothing, music videos and other visual aspects of a release instead of the audio.
