Sonic weapon or communication tool? - 0 views

  •  
    "During the Occupy Wall Street protests, Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste was hit with a high-frequency sound beam from a long-range acoustic device (LRAD). The sensation is singular: a pain that rips through your ears and into your head. It's "the feeling of irreparable damage being done to your hearing," as the artist writes in "Siren Mode," an essay on the use (and legal misrepresentation) of sonic weapons. "

Audible Ecosystem: Sonifying the Invisible - MANY DESIGN - 0 views

  •  
    "What's the sound of temperature? How about humidity, radiation, and pressure, among the many ecological forces we experience but don't hear? I considered questions like these as I collected environmental data using a device called the Arable Mark, which monitors weather, plants, soil, and irrigation, and created a set of five linked installations at Lakeside Lab. Each of the five installations includes a sign that orients visitors to the unique sound composition described at that particular site. Each sign includes a brief overview, a QR code that leads to this webpage where listeners can experience each sound composition, and details about how each composition was created, all of which draw listeners to connect more deeply with the invisible ecological forces at work. Listen to each composition below, then learn more about the project's development."

    "The ground is in motion. GROUND acts as a LOOKING GLASS, as an AMPLIFIER for what we normally can´t perceive - tectonic plates are continously shifting … the permutations of landscapes constitute an infinite process of becoming… geosphere is a complex system that interferes with biosphere but also with anthroposphere, that part of the environment, that is made and modified by humans."

Diversifying Radio with Disabled Voices - Making Contact Radio - 0 views

  •  
    "Radio can be a familiar friend, source of knowledge, a marker of time and place. But as a cultural institution, what constitutes a "good voice" in radio reflects and transmits cultural norms and structures. When I started my Community Storytelling Radio Fellowship at Making Contact, I prepared by reading articles from Transom and AIR media about interviewing, storytelling, and production. I felt more intimidated as I read about advice on 'how to do radio,' especially since some parts were very physical (e.g., holding a microphone close to a person for a significant length of time). I wondered, "Where do disabled people like me fit in the radio community? Why don't articles about diversity in radio ever mention people with disabilities?" Al Letson's 2015 Transom manifesto explores the the default straight white male voice. It resonated with me immediately and I'd also add that the "default human being" on radio is able-bodied as well."
