DEAD MEDIA archives
Following the definition of Dead-Media by Bruce sterling
Vinyl Record, Analog, K7, micro K7, Compact-Disc, DAT, MiniDisc, each new audio
media invention has searched to replace the previous in both qualitative and
consumerist idea. This audio edition is a recording of the fabrication process ,
reading problems and the wear of the medium replace on itself. This produces
a "tautological" sound object , within all its history inscribed on itself, and devoted
itself to deteriorate.
It is by publishing those media that materialize a disappearance. (reviewed by Barillet 04 pdf)
