VOICE: Vocal Aesthetics in Digital Arts and Media (Leonardo Book Series)

Voice has returned to both theoretical and artistic agendas. Get VOICE computer books for free.
In the digital era, techniques and technologies of voice have provoked insistent questioning of the distinction between the human voice and the voice of the machine, between genuine and synthetic affect, between the uniqueness of an individual voice and the social and cultural forces that shape it. This volume offers interdisciplinary perspectives on these topics from history, philosophy, cultural theory, film, dance, poetry, media arts, and computer games. Many chapters demonstrate Lewis Mumford's idea of the "cultural preparation" that precedes technological innovation--that socially important new technologies are foreshadowed in philosophy, the arts, and everyday pastimes.
