Scientific experiments with documenting and archiving sound resulted in
the creation of diverse techniques which were eventually used beyond the
sciences, too. By addressing the poetics and politics of scientific sound
archives an institution comes into focus which is at the intersection of
art and science. While Viktoria Tkaczyk analyzed sound recordings from
the perspective of cultural studies, Gill Aubry presented his artistic
work with sound archives. Here, the evening is documented by photographs,
documentation of Gilles Aubry’s works and the transcription of Aubry’s
lecture.
