This audio work is a reflection on listening beyond
hearing, created as
part of the two-week interactive workshop Talking to Each Other
facilitated by the Feminist Media Studio and Access in the Making Lab at
Concordia University. In this short audio piece, these two documents
are remediated into a speculative narrative. An old answering machine
cassette tape is played back. A voice recounts their curiosity for this
new piece of technology that expands sonic perception beyond aural
mechanisms.
Envisioned as a form of media archeology, this work is an invitation to revisit technological artifacts from the past and wonder: Which organs are involved in listening? Which technologies allow us to access sound? And how do they shape the way we listen?
This piece was produced as part of Talking to Each Other, a multi-media, collaborative research-creation project directed by Simone Lucas, with Access in the Making Lab (AIM) and the Feminist Media Studio (FMS), in partnership with Accessibilize Montreal and Suoni Per Il Popolo. In this project, the FMS, AIM, and our community partners, want to collectively work, tinker and experiment with the frictions and challenges between technologies, access and critical forms of media making.
