The colored links above and below will open Word documents of several of the academic papers I've written this year.
"Bundle Up: The Bibliographer's Encounter with Nude Media." In which I discuss Kenneth Goldsmith's (founder of Ubu Web) notion of "radical distribution" and what it means for descriptive bibliographers.
"Ubu's Radical Intellectual Property Practices and the Filmmakers Who Hate Them." In which I examine the legal and ethical frameworks of Ubu's IP policy.
"Ursonate: Achieving a Full Understanding." What did Kurt Schwitters mean by a "full understanding"?
"Sound Poetry: Intermedial Translation." In which I discuss the sound poem as a form "between media" and the idea of translating between the aural and visual.
"Exciting Moments in the History of the Sound Arts." A PowerPoint presentation that hits a few of the major works of 20th century sound art.
"Hear We Are: Charting the New Acoustic Ecology." In which I attempt to produce an "audio term paper" (I only finished about 20 minutes-worth) that compares the 1973 Vancouver Soundscape Project with the contemporary Sound-Seeker sound map from the New York Society of Acoustic Ecology.
