"Audible Evidence" Must Read Article by Andrea Hammer

April 19th, 2007

I was forwarded a link to a WONDERFUL article on audio. Bringing into the fold ideas and questions like, “how do places speak,” and how do we create ‘place’ with audio; what is ‘place’? In a world over saturated with images and one overly reliant on “image” to relate space, time and place Andrea challenges with a positive assertion that sound can often be used to create these ‘images’ more thoroughly than can photographic representations. The article doesn’t deride image based work but speaks to the idea that knowing, learning, documentary is a ‘multi-lingual’ affair and far too often in our fast-paced, “want it now” society we simply leave out the power of sound. Sound asks us to slow down and listen…as is well articulated in her wonderful article!
