These sounds (and modes of listening to them) are particularly contemporary. They play on textures and moods conditioned by shifting economic forces, changes in our understanding of the role of the state, and the fragmenting of identity politics. Here, the illicit listening of the eavesdropper taps into the anxieties and potentialities of an era of surveillance and privatisation. The uncanny voice of the ventriloquist speaks of the encounter of human and non-human agent, and asks: who is controlling whom? The voices of the past and the ghost in the machine haunt the proceedings and insist on a reckoning with both history and the future that is nevertheless full of gaps, multiples and indeterminacies.<\/p>\n<p>This event is informed partly by notions of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcacousmatic\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 sounds, or sounds whose origins are in some way obscured or indiscoverable. As theorist Salom\u00c3\u00a9 Voegelin suggests, however, this is not to figure origins as singular and fixed, but to open up thinking about context as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dca plurality of things thinging\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (Voegelin, 2015). This focus on plurality extends to ideas of the live and recorded, so that the distinction between them is understood as dynamic and subject to interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.uniondocs.org\/2015-11-08-eavesdroppers\/<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, November 8th, 2015. 7.30p. $9 UnionDocs 322 Union Avenue, Brooklyn NY Curated with Johanna Linsley.
