Cracked Media
8 November 2009
SCA Foundation Coordinator, Dr Caleb Kelly's first book Cracked Media: The Sound of Malfunction (MIT Press, 2009), will be officially launched by Professor Ross Gibson on Sunday 8 November, 3.30pm at gleebooks.
From the mid-twentieth century into the twenty-first, artists and musicians manipulated, cracked, and broke audio media technologies to produce novel sounds and performances. In Cracked Media, Kelly explores how the deliberate utilisation of the normally undesirable (a crack, a break) has become the site of productive creation.
Dr. Kelly's research is based in the sound arts, specifically as it relates to art and music. He has written for numerous art publications and is currently editing an anthology entitled Sound for the Documents in Contemporary Art series published by Whitechapel Gallery in London and MIT Press.
