ART/VOICES. Staging the Audible between Live-Performance and Technologies

Since the late eighteenth century there has been an immense desire in our culture to record and to reproduce the human voice. Today, recording and reproducing technologies of the voice are an essential part of our daily life. Analog and digital voices from stereo, computer, radio, VCR and television form what constitutes our cultural reality as much as actual corporeal voices. Techniques of speaking and listening have changed. But there is no area where this is more obvious than it is in the arts. Sound and Radio Art, Theater, Performance, Video and Installation Art are negotiating the vocal constitution of contemporary culture permanently anew. The symposium wants to deliver a profound reflection of the voice's complexity, and of its diversity in various media in the time of its technological (re)producibility. It will explore questions about the corporeality, the technologies, and the imaginary impact of live and reproduced voices: Do technologies change our perception? Is there such a thing as a "disembodied voice”? How are these voices staged in the arts? How can we describe an historic genealogy of the technologically reproduced voice?
