Damon Krukowski
April 15, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeOur voices carry farther than ever before, thanks to digital media. But how are they being heard? In his new book, writer-musician Damon Krukowski examines how the switch from analog to digital audio is changing our perceptions of time, space, love, money, and power. In Ways of Hearing (MIT) – modeled on Ways of Seeing, John Berger’s influential 1972 book on visual culture – Krukowski offers readers a set of tools for critical listening in the digital age. Krukowski lays out a choice: Do we want a world enriched by the messiness of noise, or one that strives toward the purity of signal only?
