SOUND CULTURES: An International Workshop of Art and Theory
September 11-13, 2003
Cornell University
Sound Cultures: An International Workshop of Art and Theory will be
held at Cornell University, September 11-13, 2003 as a joint
inaugural project of The Comparative Literature Theory Project and
The Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell Library.
Organized by Timothy Murray, the workshop will bring together
influential international artists and theorists who dwell on the
cultural impact of sound in an electronic and digital age. In
addition to demonstrations of artistic projects in electronic music
and digitally generated sound, participants will consider sound's
importance in the era of visual studies, the cultural and ethnic
specificity of sound fields and rhythms, the gender import of voice
and spoken narrative, and the history and politics of electronic
experimentations in sound. The workshop is hosted by The Comparative
Literature Theory Project and The Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media
Art, Cornell Library, as a means of highlighting the conceptual
interplay between comparative theory and digital arts.
The Workshop opens on Thursday evening with the first Goldsen Virtual
Seminar of New Media Art, an on-line seminar between speakers at the
Cornell Workshop and sound artists in Sydney Australia brought
together by Norie Neumark of the University of Technology, Sydney.
The Sydney artists will present and discuss their work via
videostreaming with participants in Ithaca. This seminar will be
videotaped and archived for access by Cornell users of the Goldsen
Archive of New Media Art, recently established in the Kroch Library
to become a premier collection of artwork on CD-Rom, DVD, and the
internet.

Seminars, contact Timothy Murray, Curator, The Rose Goldsen Archive
