The networked Wired Radio speakers of the 1920's industrialised factory, acoustically anchor a narrative based on the functional utilisation of sound systems for insidious purposes; from the surround-sound techniques of the Waco siege, to the application of sonic torture in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. Crucially, Sound Pressure identifies the logic behind the miniaturisation and disappearance of visible sound system technologies as they transmute into the ultrasonic dynamics of the Hypersonic Sound System and covert bone conduction techniques of Whispering Windows. The book charts an evolution of speaker technology that has been, and will be, used to influence, manipulate and torture the collective and isolated body. It amplifies the connections between LRADs, iPods, Mosquitos, Intonarumori, loudhailers, and Sequential Arc Discharge Acoustic Generators - the meta-network of speaker systems through which rhythms and cadences of power are transmitted, connected, and modulated. 650 0 $a Loudspeakers. 650 0 $a Public address systems. 650 0 $a Sound $x Equipment and supplies. 650 0 $a Organization. 650 0 $a Discipline. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Heys, Toby, 1968- author. $t Sound pressure. $d New York : Rowman & Littlefield International, 2019. $z 9781786611130 $w (DLC) 2019980527 830 0 $a Media philosophy 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191204011935.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59B07AF0FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
