October 14 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Tuesday October 14, 12-1pm
Lecture by Ruth Clemens, “Cultures, Technologies, and Media of the Sonic War Machine.” Focusing on aural media and forgotten sound technologies from the early 20th century, this lecture presents a story of unexpected consequences that connects the international Dadaist avant-garde to 1940s Hollywood to military technologies and communication systems.
Clemens’ broad research interests cover film, cultural analysis, and comparative literary studies. Her work explores the intersections between textuality and materiality, media and politics, and language and technology. Her research interests are varied, with through-lines of critical post-humanism and the avant-garde across media, film, sound, and visual arts and the materiality of culture.
Location: Media Art Gallery, 25 Avery Street, Boston, MA
