RECORDINGS
Editors for this issue:
Paul Hegarty and Gary Genosko
What is the current state of aural art media in 'an era of digital
reproduction'? Which trails were followed in order to reach the present
of online and/or digital (sub)versions? Due consideration needs to be
given to the residues of technologies, the anachronisms, the failures,
the less-than-excellent, the dated, the outmoded, and even the
yet-to-work. Once we take into account the material (or dematerialised)
art object, what about collecting cultures, recycling, destroyed and
broken media (the TV thrown from the window....), new broadcast media,
turntablism, noise, radio and its avatars, podcasting, any casting, the
range of material 'supports' (vinyl, the 8 track, betamax, different
audio files). Still, has the digital and informational swamped the world
in a mass encoded simulation? What and where are the resistances? Are
they within or outside of the digital? In the junk heap of analogue
machines? In Ebay dreams? What are the material forms/formats that offer
critical models, avant-gardism, metacommentary and so on? What is the
status of the art commodity, non-commodity or hypercommodity?
Contributions on any of the above are welcomed, from any theoretical or
historical perspective. Whilst sound is very important, due to its
apparent disappearance in ubiquity, submissions are invited to consider
other media (notably video art, DVD, streaming), provided it addresses
some of the above ideas.
Recommended length: 4000 - 7000 words
Submission deadline date: 1 Feb 2007.
All contributions to Culture Machine are refereed anonymously. Authors
should follow the Culture Machine Style Manual in preparing their
articles http://culturemachine.tees.ac.uk/papers.htm#submissions

Culture Machine welcomes material from Britain, Australia and the United

those working outside the usual Anglo/Australian/American nexus that
currently seems to dominate so much of Cultural Studies/Cultural Theory.
Appropriate unsolicited articles of any length from academics,
post-graduates and non-academics will all be accepted for publication,
as will contributions which respond to or seek to engage with work
previously published in Culture Machine. So-called 'inter-active' texts
are welcomed, as are any forms of contribution that take advantage of
and explore the uses and limitations of digital technology.
