Overview

Unsound : Undead brings together AUDINT’s research into the peripheries of audition as explored in their edited collection Unsound:Undead (Urbanomic Press April 2019) From high frequency crowd control systems, whispering windows, and directional ultrasound technology to haptic feedback devices using vibration within immersive VR, the parameters of the sonic are constantly re-engineered. AUDINT refer to such augmentations, which extend audition to encompass the imperceptible and the not-yet or no-longer audible, as unsound. The notion of undead, for them, is a cipher, constantly recrypted by socio-economic, political, aesthetic, techno-scientific, juridical, and other forces.
