In his 2019 doctoral thesis, Listening to Yourself Listening: The Metaperceptual Approach to Sound Art, Blake Johnston utilizes Max Neuhaus as a primary case study for "metaperceptual" art.
Neuhaus famously moved away from being a performer to creating "sound works" that define a specific location. An archive of his work is valuable not for the "music," but for the site-specific instructions and the transformation of a physical space into a "place".
Johnston takes this further by arguing that the audience's own perception is the medium. In his framework, a "famous sound artist's" archive is most valuable when it contains the "protocols of interaction"—the methods used to "hack" or guide the listener's awareness.
